Did you reboot in that time period?
If so, the following code in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit may explain what happened; if it doesn't, someone else may know of additional ways to lose the contents of the /tmp (read: temporary) directory.
# Clean up various /tmp bits rm -f /tmp/.X*-lock /tmp/.lock.* /tmp/.gdm_socket /tmp/.s.PGSQL.* rm -rf /tmp/.X*-unix /tmp/.ICE-unix /tmp/.font-unix /tmp/hsperfdata_* \ /tmp/kde-* /tmp/ksocket-* /tmp/mc-* /tmp/mcop-* /tmp/orbit-* \ /tmp/scrollkeeper-* /tmp/ssh-* # Make ICE directory mkdir -m 1777 -p /tmp/.ICE-unix >/dev/null 2>&1 chown root:root /tmp/.ICE-unix

There is also a program called tmpwatch which runs by default in a daily cron job. This process cleans out older files in /var/tmp and /tmp in an effort to help administrators. Longterm things should not be stored in /tmp or /var/tmp as they are temporary directories, and can be subject to cleanings such as this. For more information about the process, man tmpwatch or take a look at the cron job in /etc/cron.daily/
