Actually, it looks to me like the '/tmp' directory is the problem:

[sbox-N800: ~] > ls -ld /tmp
drwxr-xr-x  66 root root 20480 Oct 23 10:55 /tmp

[sbox-N800: ~] > touch /tmp/junk
touch: cannot touch `/tmp/junk': Permission denied

[sbox-N800: ~] > sb-conf select N800  
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/scratchbox/tools/bin/sb-conf", line 7, in ?
    exec('import %s' % p.basename(sys.argv[0]).replace('-','_'))
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
  File "/scratchbox/tools/bin/sb_conf.py", line 155, in ?
    config.select(parse_target())
  File "/scratchbox/tools/lib/python2.3/sb/config.py", line 600, in select
    file(restart, "w").close()
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/tmp/scratchbox-restart.dmenns'

It looks to me like errors/messages want to get 'logged' to the '/tmp' 
directory, but the configured user has no access to do so!
