Are you sure? Did you check *after* mounting it that it's permissions
are 1777? (The initial 1 is the sticky bit, it can easily get lost when
changing permission / ownership of a folder).

By the way, it should usually be safe to delete the contents of /tmp and
/var/tmp. /tmp should be clean after a reboot, /var/tmp should keep it's
contents, but it doesn't really matter if their contents stay there or
not.
I use a giant tmpfs for /tmp, combined with a giant swap on my ssd.
