The only things a colleague of mine and I can think of are:
a) attach strace to processes (you can filter only the write calls  
out if you want) until you find the one responsible
b) send SIGSTOP to processes. If the writing stops, you know it's  
somehow in involved (but not necessarily responsible, since it may be  
something which is called/triggered by this process)
