I don't think it's hopeless, but may be difficult to find the cause. You wrote that you don't have root or sudo permission. That suggests that you are using a computer administered by someone else. Can you just ask that person or someone in that group if they know of any /tmp-cleaning program that might be running? On my Ubuntu 10.04 and Fedora 14 systems, all the /etc/cron* files have 755 permissions, so you could poke around there and see if you can find some /tmp cleaner. It _might_ help to know the timing of these deletions. Do they happen after Vim has been running for a certain amount of time? Do they happen at certain times of day, or at a certain number of minutes past the hour? That might give you a clue to the cause. If you could predict the times at which it occurs, you could possibly run "ps -ef" in a loop at that time and look for suspicious processes.
