Yep, disk space is wide open. Tried opening-up perms on /tmp/dumps to new user or even just "users", did not help. In fact, it broke SteamCMD similarly under the user that I normally use. Deleting with/without manually re-creating /tmp/dumps still had same issues. Had to reboot to get /tmp cleaned-up and everything working for normal/existing game server user.
Just weird that I would really like to keep both users 100% isolated from each other and non-priv. But, I don't see any way to tell SteamCMD to not use that shared /tmp/dumps folder.
