Things that might be useful include:
- is the userid of the _watched record still valid on your system (ie,
have they got an active account, or has it been administratively
suspended or deleted)?
- Are there any unexpected editors on files for versions on branches?

Sure...

Nothing comes to mind, but it has been a long day... have you considered
a file that has only been added to a branch or removed from the mainline
(it will be in the Attic/ directory).
