Are you seeing them in a share?
How large are they?
Are you seeing more of them over time?

It is unlikely that they are being created by the NAS. More likely they are coming from one of the user's PCs.
They could temporarily set the network access on the affected shares to "read-only" and reboot the NAS. If the NAS is generating them, then they will likely continue to show up. But if they are coming from a user PC, they won't.
Turning on the auditing for a brief period might also give a clue on where they are coming from.

FWIW, I think they are coming from a user PC, and not the NAS itself.
One reason is that I'm not seeing any other reports of this here, and also am not seeing these files on my own ReadyNAS.
