Mongod is not working in Jenkins with "Unable to create/open lock file"

I am using mongo for local integration tests, which has been working for weeks on a few developer's systems. The test suite starts mongo and prepares it for the test. I decided to use the same testing on Jenkins, but Jenkins fails to start mongod. We are using the command mongod --dbpath tmp/data/db before each test run. In Jenkins we get 

+ mongod --dbpath tmp/data/db

This is strange since the folders do exist with no files in them and jenkins owns the folders tmp/data/db with the settings drwxr-xr-x. I modified the user jenkins to create a shell and ran the command just like jenkins. This of course, ran correctly. Any thoughts on what might be the problem?

It looks like a permissions issue still, so try running:

$ sudo mkdir -p tmp/data/db/
$ sudo chown jenkins tmp/data/db
