I experienced this problem too. I found that in my case the problem
was caused by the setting of $TMPDIR on OS X.
When logging in at the desktop, $TMPDIR is set by launchd to some
directory under /var/folders. This doesn't happen when logging in via
ssh. Thus, emacsclient on an ssh session is unable to find a server
started under a desktop session, because they communicate through a
unix socket located under $TMPDIR.
To fix this, add something like the following to your .profile
or .bashrc so it is executed when logging in via ssh:
if [ -z "$TMPDIR" ]; then
export TMPDIR=`getconf DARWIN_USER_TEMP_DIR`
fi
This will set TMPDIR to the same per-user directory as when logging in
on the desktop.
This fixed the problem for me.
