base tmp.dir property not working

All 

I have set the following property in my hbase-site.xml

	<property>
		<name>hbase.tmp.dir</name>
		<value>/Users/me/deployments/current/data/hbase</value>
		<description>The directory shared by RegionServers.
		</description>
	</property>

But when hbase starts up, in the log I see the following

2011-08-24 12:08:32,098 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer: Master passed us address to use. Was=192.168.2.8:57445, Now=192.168.2.8:57445
2011-08-24 12:08:32,099 DEBUG org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer: Config from master: fs.default.name=file:///
2011-08-24 12:08:32,099 DEBUG org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer: Config from master: hbase.rootdir=file:///tmp/hbase-me/hbase
2011-08-24 12:08:32,106 DEBUG org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer: logdir=file:/tmp/hbase-me/hbase/.logs/192.168.2.8,57445,1314184107890

Why is it defaulting to /tmp?
