My prove is:
unset TMP TMPDIR
export VISUAL='emacs -q' # which does backup by moving by default
crontab -e
And you can edit your crontab fine since emacs won't make a backup
of files in /tmp
So you're not editing the crontab files under their real names, but
rather, editing copies that were made in /tmp?
If so, I understand the situation now. Thanks. Does this fix it?
