Are you running a script ? In that case, put something like

   echo -e "Cleaning temporary files"
   rm -f  $GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/.tmp/${HOSTNAME}/*

in an adequate place (just before new iteration, for example). You'd better do 
it regularly, if you don't want a "Argument list too long".

If you don't run a script, then force your code to use the "rm shell command"

Please give also a look at "[GRASSLIST:162] RE: Temp files and bunnies" in the 
maillist archive

Enjoy
