But that's not in my user domain - it's the local, computer-wide,
domain.
First, clearly there's some confusion about exactly which of the
folders you listed in your message are "real" temporary items folders.
I suspect one or more of them may be historical -- Apple may have
changed the location at some point, but didn't add any code to delete
old ones. Just a guess.
In any case, strictly speaking, there's nothing wrong with items in the
user domain being stored over in "OS X HD:private:tmp:501:". "501" is
your user id, and as long as you have read access to the enclosing
folders, and write access to the desired locations within the 501
subfolder, that should be just fine.
Having said that, I don't know for certain whether we're getting
entirely the correct result. I get the same result for the temporary
items folder in every domain. I half expected a different location or
an error for the system and network domains. For example, trying to get
the trash in the other domains returns an error for me. Perhaps this
difference is strictly a bug, but it isn't clear to me whether they
should both return errors or folders for the other domains.
