In Mac OS X it's not recommended to create more than one process with the same application. It's a waste of resources (and has some more subtle disadvantages). If you really want to launch every time a new process you can try that from the command line:

	/Applications/AquaEmacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs <file> &

(I'm not using Aquamacs, it's not like GNU Emacs, so the path component "/Applications/AquaEmacs.app" is a guess.)
