[Orange-tech] need to create a drq root/tmp dir

[Dr. Mark Matties]

Hi Toni,

I checked the perms before I emailed you last. I su'ed to orange then 
successfully created and deleted a file in the tmp dir using the sym 
link. I also tried your command below as root (with the correct env - I 
source'd ~orange/.bashrc) and got the same error you include below. I 
don't think it's a permissions problem with the tmp file.

Regards,
Mark
