I am trying to use emacsclient (and have also tried gnuclient) to edit files
which can be seen by emacsclient but not be emacs.  Yes I know that's
confusing...

There is a file, say /foo/bar/baz/plunk.c that the shell with emacsclient
can see (the reason some shells can see it and some cannot is because we
use version control software called ClearCase).  If the shell Emacs is
running in looks at /foo, it looks empty (because I haven't turned on the
version control software in that shell).  So when I type "emacsclient plunk.c",
emacs comes up with a blank file and says "Type M-x create-directory to create
a directory" (or something like that).

Basically I want a system that sends the file to emacs, lets emacs edit it,
and then have emacs send the file back to be saved.  Or at least thats the
system that comes to mind.  If someone has a better solution, I'd *love* to
hear it.

Has anyone out there actually used emacs with ClearCase before?
