Contact your hosting provider.

Yeah, looks like permission problem. Your host should fix it in no time.

Pretty obvious... you don't have rights to write in /tmp (Well atleast the webserver doesn't have those rights)...

One of the first things to do when using shared hosting is to change the session.save_path... Otherwise other users can also read *your* sessiondata....
