I've worked around this by copying graphs.db to /tmp and symlinking the
copy to SAGE_ROOT/data/graphs/graphs.db.

I've also used

DOT_SAGE=`mktemp -d /tmp/dot_sage.XXXXXXXXXX`

to avoid similar errors in database.py, whose doctests make databases
under tmp_dir()s.

I don't think mktemp is a POSIX command, but it seems to be widespread:
