MySQL5 ingoring tmpdir setting

I changed my tmpdir setting inside my.cnf, restarted mysql. Verified it by doing "show variables like '%tmp%';", but for some damn reason MySQL is just ignoring this and reverting back to using /tmp.
Any ideas?

Turns out myisamchk ignores my.cnf! So I just had to do --tmpdir=/path --force
