It seems to me that the best way to do this is to have a separate
file system (directories) that you can move files that you want to
keep into. I'm assuming that "interesting cases" pop up unexpectedly
but that you can decide that they are a "keeper" soon enough to save
them from the scour program. A script that would go through all the
directories and move/copy the desired files over into the "protected"
file system would be easy to run. The "protected file system" could
look like the gempak file system, so that a simple directory pointer
change would make the software easy to manage.

Couldn't you just "chown" or "chmod" the directories/files to keep the
ldm user from being able to delete what you want to keep?
Just one who tends to seek simple solutions, though I've been known to
find the most difficult way to complete a simple task in the past! (-:
