I'm having a problem similar to one I had two months ago:
/usr/bin/sudo /sw/bin/fink selfupdate
rsync -az -q rsync://master.us.finkmirrors.net/finkinfo//TIMESTAMP /sw/fink/TIMESTAMP.tmp
I will now run the rsync command to retrieve the latest package descriptions.
...
mkstemp .VERSION.UYWhSU failed: Permission denied
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23)

Updating using rsync failed. Check the error messages above.
However, this time, I've already changed the ownerships in /sw/fink:
jonathan% ls -l total 104 drwxr-xr-x 5 jonathan admin 170 3 Feb 03:00 10.2-gcc3.3 drwxr-xr-x 6 jonathan admin 204 20 Mar 21:00 10.3 -rw-r--r-- 1 jonathan admin 1607 13 Nov 16:59 README -rw-r--r-- 1 jonathan admin 11 12 Mar 08:00 TIMESTAMP -rw-r--r-- 1 root unknown 11 20 Mar 21:01 TIMESTAMP.tmp -rw-r--r-- 1 jonathan admin 11 12 Nov 14:39 VERSION drwxr-xr-x 187 root admin 6358 12 Mar 12:09 debs lrwxr-xr-x 1 root unknown 4 29 Feb 22:49 dists -> 10.3 -rw-r--r-- 1 jonathan admin 31490 13 Nov 16:59 override -rw-r--r-- 1 jonathan admin 0 13 Nov 16:59 stamp-rel-0.6.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 jonathan admin 0 12 Mar 08:32 stamp-rsync-live
How about the ownership/permissions of /sw/fink itself?
Oh, of course. That was the problem:
jonathan% ls -lr /sw ...drwxr-xr-x 13 root unknown 442 20 Mar 22:10 fink...
jonathan% groups jonathan (-> staff admin) jonathan% sudo chmod 775 /sw/fink...sudo chgrp admin /sw/fink jonathan% ls -lr /sw ...drwxrwxr-x 13 root admin 442 20 Mar 22:10 fink...
jonathan% fink selfupdate (-> success.)
TYVM! (Thank You Very Much!)
