do you have /tmp mounted as tmpfs? i ran into a problem with this a while ago, it might be the same thing. from a quick check of the script, you can pass '--tmpdir' in and use that. try using /var/tmp instead if thats what is causing your problems. -- PGP key: http://codex.net/pgp/pgp.asc If NT is the answer, you didn't understand the question.
