T. V. Raman's problem only occurs some of the time.
Today's GNU Emacs CVS snapshot, Mon, 2007 Sep 17 10:17 UTC,
GNU Emacs 23.0.50.13 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.10.13)
In Debian testing and for X, Enlightenment window manager.

Please confirm that this is what you are trying to do:
run emacs on a linux console
run M-x shell in emacs
run emacsclient from the shell buffer.
If this is the situation, what do you expect emacsclient to do in this
case?
I am running from an instance of Emacs started in a console. From
BASH, after starting Emacs and running M-x server-start, I am able to:
emacsclient --display=localhost:0.0
(That is the frame I am sending this message from.)
But when I try as another user that starts an instance of Emacs
immediately, when I log in the account starts Emacs but I receive the
same error message as T. V. Raman.
That is to say, for the failure my /etc/passwd file looks like this,
emacs:x:1012:1012:Emacs Account that starts
Emacs,,,:/home/emacs:/home/emacs/start-emacs
but for the success, it says
bash:x:1013:1013:Bash Shell Account,,,:/home/bash:/bin/bash
In the success, I run `/home/emacs/start-emacs', which is a shell
script that says
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/src/emacs/src/emacs -q -l ~bob/.emacs-21-load-path -l
~bob/.emacs-21 --eval '(emacs-version t)' -bg DodgerBlue4 -fg white -name
'Emacs current'
That is the same `/home/emacs/start-emacs' file as when I start Emacs
by logging in, the `M-x shell' failure.
