note added, to provide the vim commands i use all the time when processing the output of checker.
in zap the dir, just turned on some debugging noise for when "unimportant" files are whacked. then we know the extent of the issue, maybe a bit late, but for future research into a note that was reported and pooh-poohed.
if (! &important_filename($fname)) {
# it's a junk file; whack it.
$fname = $from_dir . '/' . $fname;
-#print "whacking: $fname.\n";
+print "whacking unimportant: $fname.\n";
unlink $fname;
if (-f "$fname") {
print "cleaning file: $fname\n";
# in such a way that the file count can be very high without blowing its
# mind, and without any extra headers in the report.

+#
+# useful vim patterns for processing the output of the checker report:
+#
+# cleaning cdrom path entries:
+# :1,$s/.media.fred.CDROM\///
+#
+# cleaning bluray path entries:
+# :1,$s/.z.archons.bluray_[0-9][0-9]*_arch[^\/]*\///
