Common problem and is in the list several times.  In case you have not been on the list long enough to read it, here is the meat of the fix:


mkdir /home/webdata
cd /usr/admserv/html/.cobalt/report/
mv * /home/webdata/
cd ..
rm -r ./report
ln -s /home/webdata/ ./report

Try this before you start wacking RPMs.   It made my / partition go from 95% used to 67%  :)
