Thanks Jon.  That sounds good, and I've been running this daily:

find /path/to/catalog/tmp -type f -mtime +2 | xargs --no-run-if-empty rm
find /path/to/catalog/tmp -depth -type d -empty -mtime +2 | xargs
--no-run-if-empty rmdir
find /path/to/catalog/session -type f -mtime +2 | xargs --no-run-if-empty rm
find /path/to/catalog/session -depth -type d -empty -mtime +2 | xargs
--no-run-if-empty rmdir
