[racket-dev] make-evaluator fails for honu

I'm trying to evaluate honu programs inside a sandbox but I get an error from `make-evaluator'. Other languages work (racket/base, typed/racket), its only 'honu that fails so I must have set up something incorrectly. Any idea what it could be?

current-directory: `exists' access denied for /home/jon/tmp/

>From this code

#lang at-exp racket/base

(require racket/sandbox)

(define (test input)
  (define honu-eval (make-evaluator 'honu))
  (honu-eval input))

(define input string-append)

(test @input{1})
