Yes, here is how it looks:<property> <name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name> <value>/scratch/local/jim/hadoop-${user.name}</value> </property> so I don't know why it still writes to /tmp. As a temporary workaround, I created a symbolic link from /tmp/hadoop-jim to /scratch/... and it works fine now but if you think this might be a considered as a bug, I can report it.
I've encountered this somewhere too; could be something is using the java temp file API, which is not what you want. Try setting java.io.tmpdir to /scratch/local/tmp just to see if that makes it go away
