Thanks!  Setting java.io.tmpdir did the trick.  Sadly, I still ran into an
issue with the amount of RAM pyspark was grabbing.  In fact I got a message
from my web provider warning that I was exceeding the memory limit for my
(entry level) account.  So I won't be pursuing it farther.  Oh well, it was
still good to get past that first issue.  Pyspark runs fine on my laptop so
for now I'll just have to use it locally.
