Is the Emacs server using TCP or UNIX sockets?  The -f argument only
makes sense for TCP; otherwise emacsclient looks for a socket to connect
to in `server-socket-dir'.  The name of the socket defaults to "server"
in that directory but can be specified with the -s argument.

I'm not sure why it was trying to use ~/tmp/ as a default server file
location, given that your prefix according to that pkgbuild was /usr/.
