There have been various problems reported with gnuclient/gnuserv and
XEmacs, one by me ;)

XEmacs and the 'gnuserv' package do not appear to mix well. This is
one problem. Try running 'gnuclient.xemacs20' instead of just
'gnuclient' and see if that helps.

I assure you, gnuclient *does* work in XEmacs 20 for some people, I'm
sure your problems can be fixed...

Does 
 $ xemacs20 -batch -eval "(and (require 'gnuserv) (print gnuserv-program))"
print out a sensible gnuserv pathname?
i.e. "/usr/lib/xemacs-20.4/i386-debian-linux//gnuserv"

This probably meant that you were loading the lisp from the gnuserv
package, not from the XEmacs install. The gnuserv.el supplied with the
gnuserv packages doesn't define "gnuserv-edit-files", it defines
"server-edit-files"...

Write a wrapper around gnuclient to check for the presence of an emacs
process, and launch one if not found. afaik, that's all you can do.
