I tried various incantations, including the one you mention, none of them seem
to have any effect...

Actually, I'm exporting a region, but that should pretty much work the same way.

The thing is, I'm keeping lots of stuff in several org files and occasionally I
want to export some of it (in this case it was a table) to latex/pdf in order to
print it or send it to someone. I'm not actually interested in the .tex or .pdf
file itself and I don't want to clutter up the directory containing my org
files. So preferably the latex/pdf file should go into ~/tmp or /tmp, where it
can sit until I clean it out.
