[hobbit] Hobbits are good sneaks

[Martin Flemming]

Hi !

I've got the same error a few month ago ...

.. i've deleted the tmp-link in home of hobbit

/usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp is a link to /tmp

remove the link and create a real directory tmp
in /usr/lib/hobbit/client/ ...

.. for me, it did worked ..

cheers,
          martin
