Launch Aquamacs Emacs in a manner that it does not load your  
customisation

	/Applications/Aquamacs Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs Emacs -q &

and then see how AUCTeX behaves. If it still shows this error you can  
try the same with:

	/Applications/Aquamacs Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs Emacs -Q &

If the error persists then surely something in Aquamacs Emacs is  
defective. If launching Aquamacs Emacs without your (-q) or without  
any (-Q) customisation lets AUCTeX compile your LaTeX file, then the  
fault is in your customisation or latest in that of your system.

It's not complaining about this, it's the programme (shell  
interpreter) /bin/sh that complains about a command it receives from  
Aquamacs Emacs that is syntactically not correct:

	line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``'
	line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file

And this shell interpreter is needed to create a sub-process in  
Aquamacs Emacs in which AUCTeX can invoke pdflatex or whatever to  
convert a (La)TeX file.
