Hello, Did you set the right permissions? something like "chmod 1777 <destination directory on the other disk>"
Of course, as long as you are linking to a directory in the other disk, however, I don't really know what needs to be done if you are using the whole partition in the other disk as the target for /var/tmp ... Maybe the permissions are set in the /etc/fstab file?
