I always have to do

What's it needed for? I've never needed to do this.

Paul.

If I don't then when I run yum I always get a flood of messages saying
'unable to get backing store ...' or something like that. This has been
true on every machine I've setup for Fedora for many releases back.

I've never had to do this and don't have a /var/tmp/rpm. I suspect you are installing something or carrying some state forward that requires this.

Try installing a stock F10. yum update. Then start adding your local preferences/repos/apps. yum update after each. Find out what changes yum's configuration.
