I already included that in my last post.  The only difference was that I
added -Sr to do a reverse sort by size (largest items at the bottom), and -F
is included in my alias for ls, so '/' is shown at the end of directory
names.

However, this actually seems to be an issue with JFS and high turnover
within a directory.

I've forwarded this along to the JFS list already.  I don't suppose there's
any way to make Nagios not use so many constantly changing files in this
directory is there?
