Looks like PHP doesn't have write permission to /tmp and so it's unable
to store its session data?  (If so, that's a very strange configuration and
it ought to be fixed by your server administrator.)

Try creating a "tmp" directory in your home directory, give it 777
permissions, and add the following line to your config.php:

   ini_set('session.save_path', 
     '/hsphere/local/home/randal2k/games.xfugue.com/tmp');

If that doesn't work, let me know and we can try a few other things.
