rouge process wiping files from a directory

I'm hoping you guys (the experts) can help me.

We have a sweep directory (/opt/application/sweep) critical to our application process. The application will lay down a file in that directory, then about 15 seconds later a post process will come along and pick that file up and continue processing. The problem is that something (a rouge process) or someone is doing an rm -f * in that directory. We are trying to figure out what process or person may be doing this.

We have examined all of our users .sh_history files and don't see a smoking gun.

Do you guys have any suggestions on how to identify the culprit?

Thanks in advance!

LAMCLEAN(1)							   LAM COMMANDS 						       LAMCLEAN(1)

NAME
lamclean - Attempt to clean entire LAM system. SYNOPSIS
lamclean [-hv] OPTIONS
-h Print the command help menu. -v Be verbose. DESCRIPTION
The lamclean command attempts to remove all user processes and messages from all nodes. It also de-allocates all user allocated resources and cancels all user process registrations. This happens by invoking many different remote services which have previously been invoked individually by several other commands. These commands should still be used when partial selective removal of user presence is desired. Otherwise, lamclean is a quick and convenient way of starting over after a bad application run without rebooting the system. lamclean takes the following actions on the following system processes on all nodes: kenyad The LAM SIGUDIE signal (terminate) is sent to all user processes. See doom(1). bufferd The entire daemon is reset to its initial state after booting. See sweep(1). filed All user file descriptors are closed. See fctl(1). traced All traces are removed. See lamtrace(1). lamclean will not succeed if any of the nodes are unreachable due to catastrophic failure or maximum buffer overflow with link jamming. If lamclean does not return, use lamwipe(1) and lamboot(1) to restart the multicomputer. SEE ALSO
lamboot(1), lamwipe(1), sweep(1), doom(1), fctl(1), lamtrace(1) LAM 7.1.4 July, 2007 LAMCLEAN(1)
