As you can see, only the owner (in this case, root) can create new
files in the misc directory. A normal user can edit existing files in
the misc directory (assuming he has 'w' perms to the file), but cannot
create new ones.
Anyway, your scripts should be using /tmp as the place to create temporary
files. If it really has to create files in /misc, then run the script
as root.
