Looks like the tmp file deletion is the problem.
when i started to see the errors i found that
tmp file is missing.

No i'm not running any cleanup job. how do i know
if someone else is deleting the file. is there a
way to protect the tmp file not to be deleted.
I do not suspect any of my other scripts are deleting
the file, as i did not install any new scripts, and i
was running with the same set of scripts for some
years without any problems
