[rdiff-backup-users] what does this error mean ? "No usable temporary directory found"

[Ensel Sharon]

I am running (rdiff-backup 1.0.4):

rdiff-backup -r 2006-10-05T11:06:09 address@hidden::/dir/dir/file /tmp/file/

I am not sure what it is trying to tell me here, when it says:

"No usable temporary directory found in ['/tmp', '/var/tmp', '/usr/tmp',
'/']"

Is it saying it can't find that on my local end, or on the remote end
?  The remote end is just a shell host, so I do not have a /tmp, or a
/var/tmp that I can see from inside of my chroot, etc.

Thank.
