Yes, when I su to opendkim user, I can create files in /var/tmp. But I
still get this error when I enable the opendkim service.

[root_at_arthur etc]# su opendkim
bash-4.1$ cd /var/tmp
bash-4.1$ dir
bash-4.1$ touch /var/tmp/dkim.8FB9360005.tm67c8
bash-4.1$ dir
dkim.8FB9360005.tm67c8

Any ideas of what else to try or where else to look?
