I created a new partition on my hard drive because my /tmp partition was too small. I changed the mountpoint in /etc/fstab and rebooted.
Every time I reboot, I get the following error message at the login screen:
There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)When I log in, /tmp is mounted correctly and everything seems to work fine. When I reboot, the error shows again. When I change the /tmp mountpoint back to the old partition, the error message disappears.
What could be causing this and how can I solve this issue?

This appears to be a sticky bit problem. /tmp needs to have permissions of 1777 (drwxrwxrwt ), please note the last 't' flag.
Compare permissions of /tmp using ls -ld /tmp with new and old partition and if it is different,
Try changing permissions on new partition.
sudo chmod 1777 /tmp I guess you deal with a corrupt file system.
Boot from a Ubuntu install disk(flashdrive) and run fsck with the -fy option on your hard drive (/), this will fix several things and cur the error message.
Please let me know, if this fixes your problem!
