I suspect the files have to exist to place a watch on them. You can just touch 
them to create them empty. ausearch/aureport probably doesn't care. We are 
working on a directive to allow auditing a directory and its whole subtree 
for RHEL5 and 2.6.23. Al should be posting the code for review rsn.
