Johannes,
w3af uses a "temp dir" which is (@see temp_dir.py):
TEMP_DIR = os.path.join(get_home_dir(), 'tmp', str(os.getpid()))
To store temp data, make sure that it has permissions to that
directory. Also, it could be that the creation of the pyc files is
failing because of strict permissions in the installation directory.
Regards,
