Hadoop Failed to set permissions of path: \tmp\ - windows

Question

I'm running (or obviously trying to) Hadoop 1.2.1 on my Windows machine inside cygwin. Unfortunately there is something terribly wrong with my Hadoop. I'm getting the following error when I'm trying to execute simple Pig script on local mode.
Backend error message during job submission

I assume that there is something wrong with the hadoop installation or configuration files, but I'm new to Hadoop so is just an assumption. Can someone help me to resolve this problem. Thank you! : )
PS Also why the path in the \tmp\hadoop-antonbelev\mapred\staging\antonbelev1696923409\.staging to 0700 is using windows backslashes? I tried to find this file but it doesn't exists.
UPDATE:
Here I my config files:
core-site.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>
<!-- Put site-specific property overrides in this file. -->

# export HADOOP_SLAVE_SLEEP=0.1
# The directory where pid files are stored. /tmp by default.

I'm not sure if any other config files are relevant.

Answer 1

try changing the file permissions of the folder you are using as hadoop tmp folder.
something like:
sudo chmod a+w /app/hadoop/tmp -R

Answer 2

Please add this entry in core-site.xml like this
<property>
<name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name>
<value>/tmp/hadoop-${user.name}</value>
<description>A base for other temporary directories.</description>
</property>
Problem with your configuration is tmp folder which hadoop is reading is under root or /tmp.
