Hi MH,

I don't have the solution to your problem unfortunately, but here are
a few hopefully-useful pointers:

Guix logs to stderr, not stdout. Use one of the following two
incantations to capture it:

$ guix pull ... 2>guix.log   # redirect stderr to guix.log
$ guix pull ... 2>&1 | cmd   # pipe stdout and stderr to "cmd"

In your config.scm, you seem to have a file-system record with an
empty mountpoint:

(file-system
 (mount-point "")
 (device (uuid "BDAA-FF93" 'fat16))
 (type "vfat"))

Maybe that's causing problems?

Hope that helps,
Timo
