Looks like db4 transaction logs, you can check which transactionlogs are
no longer in use by installing the db4-utils package and running:

db_archive -a -h /var/lib/jabberd/db

This should show all the logfiles that are no longer involved in active
transactions.

It should also be quite safe to remove the jabberd database, it will be
regenerated automagically (you can/should make a backup just to be on
the safe side ...).

service osa-dispatcher stop
service jabberd stop
rm -rf /var/lib/jabberd/db/*
service jabberd start
service osa-dispatcher start

Kind regards,
