Hmm, I'm not seeing the problem. As user_foo, what happens if you run 
this shell command?

cat /home/user_foo/.emacs

Also, what happens when you do this as user_foo?

strace -o tr emacs -Q -batch -eval '(message "%s" (load-file ".emacs"))'

Look at your "tr" file, and compare its system calls to mine (compressed 
and attached).
