You are using your system-wide temporary directory (/tmp) which is set up to be in a separate hard drive (or RAM disk) partition. This is a bad idea. As I've written many times, you have to reconfigure Joomla! to use the tmp directory under your site's root directory.

If you try it a few times, it will work without an error. You seem to have too many files in your temporary directory, in many nested directories, which throws off Admin Tools' temporary directory cleaner.
