I'd guess that /tmp/request_linux_server.tmp exists, but is not readable by this userid. I always use the "mktemp" command to generate a unique name. ( mktemp /tmp/request_linux_server.XXXXXXXX ). The name generated is written to stdout. A file with that name is NOT created, the script must do that. Sorry, I don't use regina, so I don't know the syntax to use.
