[Bug]: Change permissions and ownership for the temp directories to be the same as the parent directory

When checking disk usage, errors like du: cannot read directory 'ac.benedict/E3SMv3_dev/20231012.v3alpha04_bigrid_L80_QBO1.F20TR.chrysalis/post/scripts/tmp.407421.rCki': Permission denied. This is because of a permissions issues with the temp directories zppy creates.

@forsyth2, while you're at it, could you give the tmp directories a more useful name (say including ts or climo or whatever the task is)? That would also help with debugging if something goes wrong.

It might be easiest to find something else you can call to generate a random hash for the end of the directory name, but then just use a normal mkdir call so permissions are unaffected.

[xylar]

mktemp --dry-run might be helpful for just generating the hash:

hash=`mktemp --dry-run -d XXXX`
work_dir=`mkdir tmp.ilamb.${id}.${hash}`

@chengzhuzhang also noted that tmp directories with ... can't get deleted either. @xylar noted one possible cause for that is a regex parsing issue.

I think you probably need to delete them manually, finding the appropriate escape characters. Sometimes tab completion can tell you what they are.
