Both the emacsclient and the Emacs server need to have the same TMPDIR
because they communicate via the $TMPDIR/emacs<UID>/server socket.
So if TMPDIR is not the same, you'll have to pass a -s arg to
emacsclient to specify explicitly which socket to use.
I.e. please check whether this is indeed the source of the problem.

Could be that the TMPDIR has changed. But also emacsclient/server used
to ignore TMPDIR. I can't remember when this was changed (I think it
was in Emacs-23).
