It sounds like you do not have write access to the /tmp directory, for some reason...
Does this still happen after a reboot? If so, can you go to a command line, then do: "cd /" (change to the root directory), "ls -ltrh" (make a detailed list of what's in that directory), and post the result here as an attachment?
