Any chance someone (even a robot) is getting into your MythWeb?  A 
robot's requesting links from MythWeb can result in deleting files (same 
for a malicious user).  If so, you're lucky it's only been a few.

Check your http logs to see if there were any delete requests (ones that 
include the parameter "delete=yes").
