Saving a temp file?

Hello:
Making good progress on my app in AppleScript studio, but have run into
another roadblock. I need to save a temporary file (that I'll alter in
another handler) without any user intervention. I'm taking a cue from
another app and saving the file to /private/tmp/tempFile, but I get an
error -1700).
Here's the relevant handler:
-------------------------------
on changeOutput()
-- write file to temp directory
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ":"
set sceneName to (last text item of sceneFile as string) -- sceneName
is a var with the complete path to a file
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims
set tempFile to POSIX file ("/private/tmp/" & sceneName) as string --
make the new path to the tempfile
-- at this point I have a correctly formatted filename stored in
tempFile
try
set fileRef to (open for access tempFile with write permission) --
here's where it fails...
on error what
display dialog what
return
end try
set fileSize to (get eof of tempFile)
set eof of fileRef to 0
write fileContents to fileRef
close access fileRef
end changeOutput
----------------------------------
I'd appreciate any help in this matter. What I basically have to do is
save a file without confirmation or user intervention, and it can be
deleted on quitting.
Thanks in advance.
