Is it possible /tmp is mounted on /tmp and not /var/tmp .. just a quick guess.

The machines all share a common /home directory on a NFS file system, so to give the coaster workers local storage, I decided to set the WORKER_LOCATION directory to the local /var/tmp on each machine.

It seems as if coasters cannot write to /var/tmp for whatever reason. Has anyone encountered a problem like this before?
