So, gremlins? |
In that case I'm rather confused

That is not a very satisfying answer  but I suppose if it's the best we have, then the important thing is that the problem is gone.

I've been on the new set-up for just under a fortnight, and done the remainder of the tidy-up/editing I needed, so far no more vanishing files, so (fingers crossed) it looks like it may be fixed.

If this only happened with pdf files I'd agree, but as it also happens occasionally with epub files (I just notice the pdf's quicker as I'm doing something with them at the time rather than noticing later).
No idea what was wrong, I had the same problem over many updates, the system rebuild appears to have fixed things though.
