This line is your most obvious potential point of failure.  Have you checked 
your running script to make sure that your variable expansion is proper?
IE Is -s "$emacs_server" actually expanding to "server" and not say ""server"" 
or something obnoxious like that? 
Try hard-coding the call line to -s "server" and see what happens.
