[R] R in batch mode: cannot mkdir R_TempDir

[capy_bara]

Dear all,
I am trying to run a simple R script in batch mode on a cluster.  Running a
simple test script with 

"R CMD BATCH test.R  test.Rout" 

works fine, but as soon as I submit the very same command to the queue and
the job gets sent to a node, the following error is written to test.Rout:

Fatal error: cannot mkdir R_TempDir

I set the environment variables TEMP, TMP and TMPDIR to /tmp/ and I also
make sure that all environment variables are set on the nodes. Running the R
command "tempdir()" on a node returns something like "/tmp/RtmpadvdoQ". I
also made sure that the /tmp/ directory is readable and writable on all
nodes. 
I know that this question might be more cluster-specific (I'm running
scientific linux) than R specific and my example is hard to reproduce.
However, maybe someone encountered similar problems.  Is it maybe possible
to specify the tempdir in an argument to R CMD BATCH? 

Many thanks in advance,

Hannes
