I suppose a person could use /tmp, but that’s not really appropriate, since /tmp isn’t necessarily persistent. You might have a /tmp with tmpfs, have a server reboot, and then lose your spooled data. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The answer to me is to allow the koha-instance user to write to /var/spool/koha/<koha-instance> as well.
