Hi, 

I was trying to set up Mahout 0.8 on my Macbook Pro with OSX so I could do some 
local testing, I am running Hadoop 1.0.3 (it worked fine with mahout in my 
cluster)

I have set up Pseudo distribution Hadoop, and I could put testdata direction 
into HDFS, 

But when I try to execute 

$MAHOUT_HOME/bin/mahout org.apache.mahout.clustering.syntheticcontrol.kmeans.Job

I get

Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Mkdirs failed to create 
/PATH-TO-TMP/hadoop-unjar6845980999143023006/META-INF/license
        at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.unJar(RunJar.java:47)
        at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:132)

It seems to be a really similar issue to this bug
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-780

but I am using Mahout 0.8, so I am not sure what is happening here, I have 
checked, there should be permission to the PATH-TO-TMP directory, so I don't 
think it is a permission issue

Thanks

Yunming
