That looks like the journal file which gets created when you upgrade an ext2 filesystem to ext3 while it is still online --- it's normal. I assume /var is a separate filesystem? You can't get rid of it --- it's central to the way ext3 works. (Well, you _could_ get rid of it by converting back to ext2!) But you can hide the journal by unmounting the filesystem and running a recent version of e2fsck on it, which will convert the .journal file into a "hidden" inode.
