The even simpler solution worked for me:

  emacs --eval '(find-file "/home/somefile.org")'

with bash (4.1-3) on Debian Linux (testing+unstable).  Not sure why
others have needed so many escapes on quotes...  note that I'm enclosing
the sexp in single quotes.  Has something changed in bash from 4.1 to
4.2?
