I forgot to mention to those following this thread, files and directories were definitely removed from /root that were not scheduled for writing under ANY circumstances, on the RELENG_3 machine. In fact, on the RELENG_3 machine all files and directories (except ALL the .xxxxx files) were removed from /root.
I put a union on the /home directory nfsv2 exported from the 2.2-stable machine, which has been rock-solid ever since. THe problems that system had were when I was writing to its file system from RELENG_3. I am still very suspicious of those dot files even if I am the only one. All files and directories missing are ONLY missing from the directories to which I was writing the dot files!
