You need to create the temporary file on the same device as the call spool 
resides on. Otherwise the move from the temporary location the the call 
spool will not be an atomic operation but rather a read-write-unlink 
sequence. This has been discussed earlier on the mailing list.

Just make a temporary directory next to the call spool directory and 
create the files there.
