I ran into this same problem, and I think I fixed it. Seems like it
has something to do with the permissions on the system-wide tmp
directory not being compatible with mim.
Following the instructions at:
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/data/statatmp.html
I made a new temporary directory for Stata in a place where I have
full permissions:
mkdir /usr/local/stata/tmp
chmod 755 /usr/local/stata/tmp
Then I added the line
export STATATMP="/usr/local/stata/tmp"
to my ~/.bash_profile file
Log out and back into a terminal window or type:
export STATATMP="/usr/local/stata/tmp"
at the command line, and it just works!

Hi Again,
Maarten - Thank you for your reply. I downloaded all commands from ssc
(ssc install) just before use.
I reran some simple code using the sysuse auto dataset with the ice
command and got the same error when using mim. I realized this was a
question better for Patrick Royston so emailed him directly as it
appears to me to be a bug since it occurs even with simple code.
You have brought up a further issue which might be better discussed
with the group - and I will put this into a new email with a new
subject as it is really separate from the mim command itself.
