Hi Daniel,

I think the real mistake here is that you call org-agenda,
or maybe `org-agenda-to-appt' from .emacs, also in the case when
you are only starting the daemon.  Any such operaions should
be avoided in the daemon, I think.

Silently ignoring non-existing files on the agenda list does
not seem a good idea to me.  If you want to do this, you can do it lke  
this:


(eval-after-load "org"
  (setq org-agenda-files
        (delq nil (mapcar (if (file-exists-p file)
                              file)
                          org-agenda-files))))

Make sure this runs after ou custom-file has been loaded.
(setq org-agenda-files (mapcar (if (file-exists-p file) file)

HTH
