This does not work, when starting mysql you are still root and have write
access to $TMPDIR. The MySQL daemon changes uid later on.
There is a tmpdir variable in /etc/mysql/my.cnf which should be used
but this is not correctly honored by the innodb part of the daemon. This
bug is already known and currently in the progress of beeing fixed. See
above mentioned URL.
