The correct sequence is:

ramfs -p; cd /tmp
ed factotum
   ...
auth/secstore -s tcp!plan9!5356 -p factotum -u william
mv factotum factotum.original
auth/secstore -s tcp!plan9!5356 -g factotum -u william


It is possible to have a subdirectory /adm/secstore/store/william/tmp/
and that might be useful in some special circumstances, but start with
just a flat layout.  Secstore is intended to bootstrap security,
not to be a general purpose file system.

The daemon secstored writes verbose error messages to stderr;  those
should probably go to /sys/log/auth instead and would have given you
a better clue to what was wrong.  I'll fix the source.

Does /adm/secstore/store/william exist?
Does the secstored have permission to write
to the directory?
