I have not tried the using a bag of workstations very often but I think there is a SHARED_FILESYSTEM option. Did you try setting that to no?

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?
