I am not sure if this will help, but I think this might be the solution to his problem:

I have this working for one of my clients

First the permission on the /tmp should have a sticky bit set 

second if the file in the /tmp directory is going to be used by a user other than filepro the file should be created with a umask of 0

I run a command 

       þ If:
       Then: oy(256,*,g)="umask 0; >/tmp/aging"{@id{mt

  -------   -   -   -
    þ If:
    Then: system oy
  -------   -   -   -
    þ If:
       Then: of(256,*,g)="/tmp/aging"{@id{mt
-------   -   -   -
       þ If:
       Then: printer type "laser_ck"; printer file of

use your own variables of course

Something else to watch out for

What is your variable DE 

I used mid on a date field to change 10/10/2012 to 10_10_2012 but mistyped the result was the excecute command that you're showing...... cause unix of course  wanted to look at the / as a directory not as part of the field name

After I print to the file, in the same code I change it to a pdf in a different directory and then remove the file from /tmp
Hope this helps.
