How to catch process that removes files?

Can anyone recommend a piece of software that will watch a file or a
directory and tell me what processes mess with the files in there? In
particular, I'd like it to react when a file is removed.
I tried dnotify but it only tells me that it happened, after it
happened, not who did it.
I need this because on this one Debian testing server I have a problem
that's driving me mad: something comes around and periodically removes
files from /var dirs, making certain services crash and burn: Samba
tdb files, Apache SSL mutex, MySQL and Postgres runtime files and so
on. And I can't figure out who the hell is doing that.
