Also, it seems like the directory must exist on Windows before Emacs starts up, see this discussion (about halfway down the page):

Well, the directory does exist. Furthermore I tried it with "~/.emacsdata/server/" (tilde instead of expanded home directory) first and it doesn't work. Strange thing is it *does* work in NTemacs with the tilde: I can see, that NTemacs creates a file named "server" in the directory "~/.emacsdata/server/"" and emacsclient then finds that file.

Cheers, Leo
