We=E2=80=99re missing a tiny bit.  :-)  Could you run strace with =E2=80=98=
-s 3000=E2=80=99 or
similar so that it doesn=E2=80=99t truncate it?

(The =E2=80=9Cstrange characters=E2=80=9D are Unicode HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS.)

Note that the problems happens on the remote machine, which is what
makes it harder to debug.

If you want to debug (guix ssh), you=E2=80=99ll then have to run the daemon=
 from
your Git checkout to exercise that code:

  sudo -E ./pre-inst-env guix-daemon --build-users-group=3Dguixbuild

HTH!
