The handling of the "Other..." location seems to be kind of broken: If I enter
"/tmp" (like the OP), the archive is created in the current folder. If I go to
"file system" and double click on tmp (i.e. change into the directory), the
archive is correctly created in /tmp. If I go to "file system" and only select
tmp (i.e. no double click), file-roller tries to create the archive in /,
failing due to the insufficient permissions.
Strangely, in all cases "tmp" is displayed as the location in the initial
"create archive" dialog...
** Changed in: file-roller (Ubuntu)
