Well, I don't know. I'll discuss this with SUSE Samba RPM
maintainer when he's back in IRC. A solution could be to
delete this TMPDIR env, or to change it manually via getenv/setenv.
But this would be more or less an ugly workaround the problem
that currently the generation of temp filename for quarantine
is rather unsafe .. I'd rather should fix that properly.
