@MadeleineP.Vincent As far as I can tell, the original problem of "how do I keep ediff-files/ediff-directories from prompting me for files/directories at startup" has been solved.

@MadeleineP.Vincent ... this means that the offending code is in the portion of your .emacs that is commented out. Proceed by commenting out half of the code that you now know contains the offending code, and restart Emacs. Repeat this process until you've narrowed the problem down to a few lines of code. You can easily (un)comment multiple lines of code by setting up a region and hitting M-; (comment-dwim). If you still need help after narrowing down the problem to a few lines of code, consider asking a new question.

@MadeleineP.Vincent If you suspect that something in your .emacs might be interfering, try invoking Emacs via emacs -Q --eval .... This will prevent any customizations from being loaded. If this results in the desired behavior, you can recursively bisect your .emacs to identify the code that is causing the problem: Comment out half of the code and restart Emacs (without the -Q flag). If the problem persists, the offending code is in the portion of your .emacs that is currently not commented out. Similarly, if the problem is gone, ...

I'm close, but not quite there. When I hit D, it shows dir1 and dir2, and *** No differences ***, even though if I invoke ediff from within emacs with M-x, everything works as expected (i.e., the differences are shown). Maybe I have something set differently in my .emacs.

Add info specific to ediff-directories.

@MadeleineP.Vincent Yes, but this is not an error message; it's displayed in what seems to be some sort of overview buffer. To get the actual diff, all you need to do is hit D (ediff-show-dir-diffs).

@MadeleineP.Vincent Could you be a bit more specific about what isn't working? For me, emacs --eval '(ediff-directories "dir1" "dir2" "regexp")' works fine.
