Somebody suggested earlier a way to put a watch on that tmpfile, but
you apparently don't have permission to do that.
As for putting your tmp directory someplace else,
:help tempfile
says that on Unix, Vim uses the first of this list of directories:
$TMPDIR, /tmp, current-dir, $HOME. Therefore, you could set TMPDIR
in your environment before starting Vim, either by setting it in
your shell's .rc file (e.g., ~/.bashrc) or by setting it as you
start Vim, e.g.,
TMPFILE=~/tmp vim
You could put that in a wrapper script or in an alias:
alias vim='TMPFILE=~/tmp vim'
