One cause I see a lot of is someone 'removing', moving or clearing log files. Often someone will do an 'rm' of a log file which is held open. While the file will disappear from the file system ('ls' will not display it) it is still there and being written to by some process.
Also, do a find by size. It is possible that you are not looking at '.' files as the "*" in your example will not display '.' files.
find /cbmdata/00 -size +10000000c
