Perhaps /tmp has the "append" attribute?
Check this with
$ lsattr -d /tmp
If you get an 'a' somewhere on the resulting line, you can only append
(i.e. add files) to the /tmp directory. Some systems use this for better
traceability of intrusion attempts, as /tmp is a known free-for-all zone.
Only the owner of a directory can alter its attributes.
