I assume you can reproduce this by running

    "/usr/bin/dblatex" -P 'filename.as.url=0' docs/users_guide/users_guide.xml --ps -o docs/users_guide/users_guide.ps

It looks like your dblatex is telling tex to write under /tmp, but tex
doesn't think that it is allowed to write there. FWIW, I get:

[...]
entering extended mode
processing index /tmp/tmpLmFBxm/users_guide.idx...
This is makeindex, version 2.15 [TeX Live 2009] (kpathsea + Thai support).
