PHP Warning

Hello,

I'm hoping someone here can recommend a fix for an error occuring since a recent server move. One minute someone is merrily cruising around the website with no problems, the next minute they are unceremoniously booted to the landing page with a session error message across the top of their screen. Then they can't log back in until they clean their cookie cache. There seems to be no pattern to when this error shows in the logs.. sometimes hours between errors.. sometimes just seconds. The error from the logs is posted below, and the page referred to in the error is posted below that. Any suggestions very greatly appreciated.

Errors in log:

[Sat Dec 3 06:04:37 2005] [error] PHP Warning: session_start(): open(/home/democrat/tmp/sessions/sess_04a71628c63863f2ff9f3235f682beab, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /home/democrat/public_html/includes/init.inc.php on line 31
