Did that, same error. When I run $ emacs -Q and then immediately do
org-version, I get: Org-mode version 8.2.10 (release_8.2.10 @
/usr/local/Cellar/emacs/24.5/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/org/)

Same thing if I run emacs -Q --eval '(setq user-emacs-directory
"~/Downloads/tmp/emacsd/")' -l ~/Downloads/tmp/emacsd/scratch.el

Is this part of the problem, or is that part OK?
