 Replying to [comment:5 erikb]:

 Great.

 > Some files will not ever be put into the datastore, that is why we put
 them into /instance.  (For example, audio and video files that have not
 been muxed yet).

 Ouch, misunderstood you then.

 > Why would these files be cleared away by sugar when the activity is not
 active?  Is there someway to safeguard against the files being deleted?

 I cannot think of any reason for those files to be deleted. Perhaps
 stracing the record process would show the cause?
