It might be interesting to make a /temp directory and see what happens. 
What's strange to me here is that someone probably typed "temp" but 
meant to type "tmp" which makes me nervous. Depending on what you're 
using for your install you might want to grep for "temp" to see where 
that's coming from if that's possible. Also if you do this, see if it 
leaves anything in /temp which might tell you where it's coming from.
Google shows almost no hits for "/var/tmp" and asks "do you mean /var/tmp."
For what it's worth, I googled TeamDrive which sent me to TeamDrive.com 
which redirected me to synqion.com and when I went to the shop tab of 
that site I get a "Your connection is not secure" warning all of which 
make me nervous.
