With Aquamacs 2.1, I had some problem with the socket file. I've solved them by launching emacsclient with the following commands: 

/Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient \
--socket-name=/private/var/folders/BX/BXoNWrPNEBC3BlOf6RYMbE+++TI/-Tmp-/emacs501/server --no-wait

or

export TMPDIR=/private/var/folders/BX/BXoNWrPNEBC3BlOf6RYMbE+++TI/-Tmp-/ ; /Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient --no-wait 

You need to find the location of your TMPDIR used by the emacs server, and use it. The name is a constant, even after a reboot.
