Have you checked all your cronjobs and scripts, that you run?
Can you eliminate, that root doesn't run some jobs, that clean /tmp?

I once made a patch, that changed Vims behaviour to check everytime,
whether the temp directory is still valid and if not re-create it,
but Bram didn't want to include it.

Since this happens usually only very rarely, I have this command
in my .vimrc:
" In case /tmp get's clean out, make a new tmp directory for vim
:command! Mktmpdir call mkdir(fnamemodify(tempname(),":p:h"),"",0700)

Christian
