Surely it doesn't specifically need /opt/.TemporaryItems, but rather perhaps 
.TemporaryItems at the root of the volume, which in your case just happens to 
be /opt.

On my single-volume system, there is no .TemporaryItems folder at the root of 
the volume and things work fine. I don't know where ibtool puts its temporary 
items. Would be nice if it supported $TMPDIR. Have you filed a bug report with 
Apple about that deficiency? If not, please do.
