Are the entries listed as "suspicious files and dirs" something I should be concerned about?
Not usually. Anything outside of the user home directories that has a filename beginning with a "." (aka a hidden file) is automatically flagged as suspicious by chkrootkit. For some reason alot of the java libs are named that way which is annoying but harmless. It's still a good idea to visually inspect these files though, just in case.
