This looks different to Dirk's report:

 86 _start_pmcheck()
 87 {
 88     bgstatus=0
 89     bgtmp=`mktemp -d "$PCP_TMPFILE_DIR/pmlogger_rc_start.XXXXXXXXX"` ||
exit 1     
 90     trap "rm -rf $tmp $bgtmp; exit \$bgstatus" 0 1 2 3 15
 91     
 92     pmlogger_check --quick $VFLAG $PMLOGGER_CHECK_PARAMS
>$bgtmp/pmcheck.out 2>$bgtmp/pmcheck  

The $bgtmp directory is successfully created immediately prior to the writes at
line#92, so I'm a little confused - do you have apparmor or selinux enabled?
