I've started to get this from one of the Solaris clients I backup. There's nothing wrong with /tmp, I can create /tmp/foo just fine as the amanda user, not a disk space issue, etc... I cannot find this error message anywhere in the Amanda source. Does anyone know what's throwing this and why? This machine has been backing up fine for weeks.

sendbackup: info BACKUP=/usr/sbin/ufsdump
sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/usr/bin/gzip -dc |/usr/sbin/ufsrestore -f... -
sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz
sendbackup: info end
? Unable to create temporary directory in any of the directories listed below:
?       /tmp/
?       /var/tmp/
?       /
? Please correct this problem and rerun the program.

Thanks,
Fran
