It kind of sounds like those files are corrupted, but I can't say for sure. When you look in Luke at your index (the one with all the files, not the new one) do you see all the documents you would expect to see with values that seem reasonable? Also, in Luke, you can see a listing of all the files it thinks are in the index, do they match with what you see via a file listing on the command line?

Also, you may want to see if you have any stale locks or the like that is preventing you from doing an optimize.

Bearing in mind that the large index has > 5 million Lucene documents
indexed in it now, do you reckon I can merge the .fdt, .prx and .frq into a
compound index?

Can you try a smaller sample in a clean directory and see what size it is
(so that it doesn't take as long to index)?
