(Given that the dir is in /usr/local, I'm assuming this is a custom
compile....)

xymond on save and restart looks at what it's given with the
--checkpoint-file and --restart options, which is often set to something
in $XYMONTMP, but really can be anywhere. It should be somewhere that's
safe across a reboot (learned that the hard way), so transient or tmpfs
storage is a bad location.

Check your command line, but I'd bet it was named "xymond.chk" in the dir
you emptied.
