I just received mail from rees@citi.umich.edu. He says

I suppose he didn't like my idea to copy around systmp, and I must confess
I didn't like it either (not very much at least), but I was just too stupid 
to find his more elegant solution. So what I do now at the beginning of 
rc.local is: 
   /bin/rm -rf /sys/node_data/systmp
   /bin/mkdir /sys/node_data/systmp

This seems to work !

(I tried to remove '/sys/node_data/systmp/*' before, which didn't work.)
