Thanks, that worked for us too.

I am still puzzled as to why or how this happened.
I am sure it's a problem with the NVIDIA driver installer, but why would
it pick up the ~hobbit/client/tmp directory?
It just seems too damn strange.

Just a wild thought - do you have an environment variable called TMPDIR??
Near the top of the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg0.run package  (which is
the most recent I have handy) there's this line:

     TMPROOT=${TMPDIR:=/tmp}

If $TMPDIR has a value, it'll get used instead of /tmp, right??
