Comment (by jfarthing84):

 Well, I have a custom post type for user uploads. This post type should be
 treated exactly like an attachment. I want all attachment functions (such
 as the one being discussed) to work for it.

 Why don't I just use the attachment post type? Well, there's a few reasons
 for that. The main reason is because you can't assign any post status to
 an attachment. WordPress forces it to be "inherit" or "private".
