I'd also suggest having the list of removed files added to the daily
sysadmin mailing. I've been bitten by something like this before - a
daemon was periodically dying and I finally figured out it was because a
long-lived tempfile was being reaped. A daily report of files removed
would show you whether you might need to add some more files to the ignore
list.
