Error with TMP directory

I have a seqeunce which runs 3 parallel jobs, the first two jobs run fine but the third fails with this error about 50% of the time. I think it is a issue with Windows but I am not sure where to start. The scratch and tmp area have everyone\modify permissions.

Has anyone else seen this error?

Tfm_CriteriaResult,0: Fatal Error: APT_Communicator::waitForInitInfo: openMapFile (/I=/tmp/apTvS698469841d6cb736) failed: Permission denied on node WAFEDAETL30
The most likely reasons for this are a system-wide limit on the number of mmap'ed shared memory segments or that you have specified scratch directories or a TMPDIR that is not local to this node (e. g. is an NFS file system).

What is the value of the TMPDIR environment variable? How much free space is there on /tmp? Is /tmp a local file system or an NFS mount?

The TMPDIR is I:\tmp which is an NFS mount, also the same disk that the installation is on. There is approx 30GB free space.

Do I need to move the tmp to local disk?

Both temporary directory and scratch space should ALWAYS be local disk - just think for a moment how they're used. Resource disk should also be local disk wherever possible.
