The code in question is a bit confusing -- there are many different
possibilities, like a shared directory and executables to manage that.
But I think that basically the logic is wrong: In a default environment
(no shared), it should write to gamegrid-user-score-file-directory, not
"/tmp", so I've changed that on the trunk now to be more in line with
documented behaviour.
