Hi there                                    
 
I try to use emacsclient with Cygwin emacs, but it does not
work. emacsclient returns:
 
      emacsclient: error accessing server file
      "/cygdrive/c/home/.emacsdata/server/server"
 
In my .emacs file of the running emacs instance I have the following lines:
 
      (require 'server)
      (setq server-auth-dir "/cygdrive/c/home/.emacsdata/server/")
      (server-start)
 
So emacs *should* put the server file in the 
            /cygdrive/c/home/.emacsdata/server/, but it doesn't. 

What is going wrong here?
 
Thanks, Leo
