I assume that you meant '-f'?  In any case, that's what I eventually
did.  I removed the gnuserv invocation from my .emacs and rewrote the
dtemacs shell script that's provided with gnuserv.  You set your
$EDITOR to dtemacs.  When invoked, dtemacs tests if gnuserv is
running.  If so, dtemacs invokes gnuclient; if not, emacs -f
'(gnuserv-start)'.  Seems to solve the problem.  Now, when I want to
invoke an R instance, I just call an alias that invokes emacs sans
gnuserv.

Thanks,

Claude
