Indeed there is no loop device support in VPS. This is because each loop device requires a dedicated kernel thread, and the number of loop devices is severily limited.

Still, there are several solutions for your problem exist. First, you can try to use 2.6.15 kernel which has advanced bind mount options, so you can try 'mount -obind,nosuid,noexec,nodev,rw /usr/tmp /tmp' (same for /var/tmp) and check if it works (I'm not sure).

The other solution is described in this SWsoft FAQ; it is for Virtuozzo/vzfs although, so you need to modify it accordingly (comment out mkvzfs, change vzfs to simfs etc.).
