Well, the first thing you should do is change 'rm $filetemp 2> /dev/null' to 'rm $filetemp 2> somefile' so you can capture the error message and interrogate what rm is producing in order to find out why it is not removing the file. This may give you a clue as to what is happenning.

on a capture handle that has been activated, and PCAP_ERROR_CANTSET_TSTAMP_TYPE if the capture device doesn't support setting the time
stamp type.
