Assuming both processes are run on the same machine by the same user, this
looks like a bug. Please give more information about the Emacs version
you're using and the `emacsclient' version you're using.

A `socket' is a thingy used to comunicate between processes.
Most likely your problem is that emacsserver created a socket
named /tmp/foo and emacsclient tries to access the socket /tmp/bar.
