I wonder whether your Scratchbox is properly set up.
For example on my (Debian Etch) machine:
------- outside sbox -------------
$ mount |grep tmp|grep scratch
/tmp on /home/scratchbox/users/sbuser/tmp type none (rw,bind)

$ ls -ld /tmp/
drwxrwxrwt 18 root root 20480 2008-10-24 15:36 /tmp/
-------- inside sbox -------------
[sbox-maemo4-armv5: ~] > ls -ld /tmp/
drwxrwxrwt  18 root root 20480 Oct 24 15:36 /tmp/
----------------------------------

Is your Scratchbox /tmp bind-mounted from the system /tmp?

(This is normally done by the Scratchbox init script at bootup)
