Only that we assume you *have* built the image in order to be able to use the 
runqemu script. If you haven't, well, you won't necessarily have some of the 
utilities the script looks for (e.g. tunctl). When the script looks for TMPDIR 
it is not looking for a temporary directory, it's looking for the TMPDIR that 
would have been set in your local.conf. 

The runqemu script just isn't designed to be used in the way that you're 
trying to use it.

Cheers,
Paul
