James,

Bradley hit this right on the head. But what he didn't give you was the
simple fix.
CHGATR OBJ('/tmp') ATR(*RSTDRNMUNL) VALUE(*NO)

IBM changed the default at one time to *YES and this makes it do what
Bradley explained below. Change it back and it should work just fine.
When IBM first changed this (I forget what release) they used to change
the attribute at every IPL! This would blow up email. They issued a PTF
to stop changing it at every IPL.
