Make a partition. Suppose it's hda8
add entry to fstab.
/dev/hda8 /tmp ext2 defaults 0 1
(man fstab)
and reboot.
(This might not work if permissions of /tmp have be already fscked up
beyond kingdom come and i don't know how you can revert back to old
/tmp status! Sorry:)
Something is going wrong with the permissions (my guess) but then you
don't have to do what your doing to accomplish what you have in mind.
Incase you still want to have it your way, then try changing
permissions using
$chmod --reference=/tmp
(man chmod for more)
