Yes, I had a problem where my .emacs was only loaded partially till a
specific line and everything after that line was omitted.  The problem
was that the expression in that line required a file which tried to
retrieve informations from the current frame at load time, but with
emacs --daemon there is no frame then.

So I'd try to check if your .emacs isn't loaded at all or if it's loaded
partially.  If it's the latter, try to find the offending code.
