The Unix /tmp directory (/tmp is a symlink to /private/tmp) is suppose to allow full access to everyone.  It is a place for a process to create temporary files and directories.
So if you cannot create a file or directory there, I would wonder if it has the correct permissions.  I have:
Mavericks: drwxrwxrwt  17 root  wheel  - 578 Oct 17 20:40 /private/tmp/
Lion:          drwxrwxrwt  11 root  wheel  - 374 Oct 17 20:41 /private/tmp/
Leopard:    drwxrwxrwt   8 root  wheel  - 272 Oct 17 08:46 /private/tmp/
Where d is for directory.  rwxrwxrwx says user, group, and other all have read, write, and directory search permissions.  t says ONLY the owner of a file may delete that file from the directory.  And since I have the same permissions on 3 different flavors of Mac OS X, that is what I expect you should see.
etresoft, I do not know why ptcharlotte wants to install TeamViewer.com, but I use it to remotely access a Mac I control when getting across home NAT routers is being a pain. Or in my Mom's case, I use it as a backup, in case one of my relatives decides to be helpful and ends up disabling my ssh port forwarding into my Mom's iMac (I'm 300 miles away, so having TeamViewer.com as a backup can save me a long drive to Mom's, or as always seems to happen, when I'm on vacation a 1,000+ miles away ).
