[Tikzdevice-bugs] Temp file error, can't generate text

Hello,

I used an early version (around 0.5) of tikzDevice on my machine awhile back 
without any problems. With the latest version, I get errors associated with 
accessing log files stored in tempdir (see below). tikz generates output, 
but from only the first plot command and excludes all text. Any idea what 
I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Audrey
