hdfs permission is still being checked after being disabled

i am using hadoop v2.3.0.

in my hdfs-site.xml, i have the following property set.

 <property>
  <name>dfs.permissions.enabled</name>
  <value>false</value>
 </property>

however, when i try to run a hadoop job, i see the following
AccessControlException.

org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException(org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException):
Permission denied: user=hadoopuser, access=EXECUTE,
inode="/tmp":root:supergroup:drwxrwx---

to me, it seems that i have already disabled permission checking, so i
shouldn't get that AccessControlException.

any ideas?

Did you restart your NameNode after making the configuration that
turns permissions off?
