Thanks Guys,
Yes it seems like a rogue process that I can't track down.  The PID is changing every second.  I ran: find / -nouser -print , it will shows the following:

find / -nouser -print
find: `/opt/arcsight/logger/data/pgsql/global/pgstat.stat': No such file or directory
find: `/opt/arcsight/web/tmp/default/web.process.heartbeat': No such file or directory
find: `/proc/6044/task/6044/fd/5': No such file or directory
find: `/proc/6044/task/6044/fdinfo/5': No such file or directory
find: `/proc/6044/fd/5': No such file or directory
find: `/proc/6044/fdinfo/5': No such file or directory

Likely not an rm issue...

Yes probably. Not sure how I missed the other ? :)
Still seems like an issue outside of rm.
I'd suggest running a check on your file system.

thanks,
Pádraig.
