Rob: In the root, our biggest file, by far is the log.nsf.  1GB. 
And it doesn't have anything older than 8 days.  Strange, but that's not 
in it's replication settings.

Do you have this parameter in your Notes.ini:

Log=log.nsf, 1, 0, 7, 40000

The "7" means that it will only keep docs for 7 days...
