Ummmm...
I had a mail server problem that nuked my /tmp directory last week. The new
temp directory on the spare partition didn't have the correct permissions.
I'm quite happy that I knew that it was a permissions problem! But that was
about the only folder I hadn't checked (I had my head stuck in /var/lib...)
Thank you very much kind sir - have a virtual beer on me.
Cheers
