You need to fix the permissions of /tmp.  They should have the mode 1777 
(drwxrwxrwt).  Because you create a new mountpoint for /tmp, you need to 
make sure the permissions on that mountpoint are correct.

You probably also need to fix the SELinux attributes, running a 
'restorecon -rv /tmp' should do it.
