The jackd --tmpdir parameter is a pitfall, it only affects the server,
not the clients.  So, it does not do what you want.  Probably we
should remove it.  Sorry about the confusion.

You should rebuild JACK using...

   ./configure --with-default-tmpdir=/tmp/jack

Then the clients will look for shared data in the correct place.
