I discovered this was crucial to getting the substitutes to work 
properly on GuixSD

I don’t think this is the case: the ‘guix substitute’ program, which is
what the daemon invokes, reloads the ACL every time it is started (so
every time a command needs to know about the available substitutes.)

Did you experience something different?
