After compaction, did the file show a significant drop in file size? How soon after restarting the store does the size go back up? Does this server host any foreign gateways (such as an IMS)? Perhaps there is a looping message in the IMS (if present); this would certainly cause a ballooning store. Perhaps a particular user or users are trying to sync an offline copy of a large amount of mail, or someone is sending large attachments.
