IMO that's not abnormal.  To minimize locks on the Bayes databases,
updates are queued to the journal file.  When those updates are
written to the database (toks and seen), then the journal file is
deleted. If you're not doing very much in the way of auto-learning,
you may find the file gone more often than it's present.
