A shot in the dark.
Delete the file.
Create a dummy file with ASCII content "This is dummy content".
Set *ALL* permission bits to 0.
Note the time stamp on the new file.
Hopefully the culprit will throw a fit.
If not, note the new timestamp(s). Should point to critical time 
if not explicitly to culprit.

Can't claim full credit for last sentence. Based on a  _Reader's 
Digest_ "life stranger than fiction" piece from [IIRC] >= 4 
decades ago.
