You need to add the unique ID string to the document, too.  Otherwise,
when the next call to replace_document() looks for the term, it won't
find it.  replace_document() doesn't automatically add the term
supplied to the document.


My PHP is very rusty, but something like:

$docid = (string)self::XAPIAN_PREFIX_UNIQUE . $row['item_guid'];
$doc->add_term($docid, 0);
$this->xapian_write_db->replace_document($docid, $doc);
