acroread and xpdf problems

After portupgrading my system, I'm having difficulties opening pdf files using
acroread5 and xpdf as a normal user. I've tried using the applications as
stand-alone apps, and I've tried opening pdf files in Mozilla and Opera --all
with the same results:
If I'm trying to open the pdf file as a normal user, I get the following
message:
"There was an error opening this document. A temporary file could not be
opened."
If I run acroread or xpdf as root, I can open the files fine.
This occurs both with pdf files on the internet as well as a couple on my hard
drive. My normal user owns the pdf files on my hard drive and has read
permissions on them. I haven't changed the ownership or permissions
regarding file system directories.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andrew Gould
