On second thought, perhaps you expected "emacsclient -nw" to be paired with "emacs -nw", i.e. open a frame in the already running text mode session? If so, that's not what "emacsclient -nw" does: it is supposed to open a _new_ tty frame on the _current_ terminal. If you want to open a new frame in an _existing_ "emacs -nw" session, then drop the "-nw" part from the emacsclient command line.
