Glad it worked, though that might have been a touch more drastic than necessary. OSX, and most unix systems have a general-purpose folder, /tmp/, which anyone is allowed to create temporary files in. I guarantee there's no spaces in /tmp/'s name, so just build in there.

pam_mount

pam_mount(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      pam_mount(8)

NAME

     pam_mount -- Home Folder Mounting PAM module

SYNOPSIS

     [service-name] function-class control-flag pam_mount [options]

DESCRIPTION

     The Home Folder Mounting PAM module supports the authentication and session management function classes.  In terms of the function-class
     parameter, these are ``auth'' and ``session'' respectively.

   The Home Folder Mounting Authentication Module
     The Home Folder Mounting authentication module reads the mount authenticator from the PAM authentication context and caches it in the PAM
     environment.  The Home Folder Mounting Session Management Module must be used in conjunction with this module to remove the authenticator
     from the PAM environment.

   The Home Folder Mounting Session Management Module
     The Home Folder Mounting session management module copies the mount authenticator from the PAM environment, removes it from the PAM environ-
     ment, and uses its copy to mount the user's home folder if the user's OpenDirectory record indicates that an AFP, SMB, NFS or FileVault home
     folder is to be used.

     When the session is closed, the Home Folder Mounting session management module unmounts the user's home folder if it was mounted by this mod-
     ule when the session was opened.
