It seems that your distribution creates a private tmp-directory for
user root and sets TMP and TMPDIR environment variables to point to it
(which usually is a good idea). However Samba does not like this, since it
likes to change uids, but expects still to be able access the TMP
directory. I have been bitten by this too, except that I have
/tmp/root.

Just do 'unset TMP' and 'unset TMPDIR' before trying to start samba. And
make sure your init scripts do not have the same problem.
