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.
