My guess is that you have run this script as different users. It looks
like a bug in the script that does not anticipate this.
It can not write to the file: '/tmp/hdhr_discovery.log', so remove it,
if needed with sudo and try the script again.

If this indeed is the problem, the script should set world permissions
to the file to rw.
