I've never used filecache and wonder if there's a problem with that module?

Ok so the issue is one of permissions.
on the admin/config/media/file-system I defined /tmp as my directory
it has ownership of www-data:www-data

but Drupal is running as aegir user

So the directories could not be made.

I changed my temp directory to
sites//private/tmp

This allows for a little more security if you have multiple sites running on your system
I did have to chown -R aegir:www-data private/tmp

then it all worked

aarrgghhh

no instead i could keep the owners the same, www-data:www-data, and

in addition to changing it above I had to chmod 770 sites//private/tmp directory
