For what it's worth, it fails in the same way for me too. Trying to open a connection results in a handle with "file not found" status.

If you just need to work with SQLite databases, I tried guile-sqlite3 and it worked (connecting, inserting records, etc). It is not documented, but the tests help discover how to use some things (https://notabug.org/guile-sqlite3/guile-sqlite3.git).

For example, I don't know what I'm doing, but this works:

~~~
(import (sqlite3))

;; Log into the database.
(define db (sqlite-open "database.sqlite3"))

;; Create a table.
(sqlite-exec db "create table hellotable(id int, name varchar(15))")

;; Populate the table with values.
(sqlite-exec db "insert into hellotable ('id', 'name') values('33', 'ola')")
(sqlite-exec db "insert into hellotable ('id', 'name') values('34', 'dzien dobre')")
(sqlite-exec db "insert into hellotable ('id', 'name') values('44', 'annyong haseyo')")

;; Display each of the rows of the table, in turn.
(let* [(stmt (sqlite-prepare db "select * from hellotable"))
       (result (sqlite-map identity stmt))]

  (for-each
   (lambda (row) (begin (display row) (newline)))
   result))

;; Close connection.
(sqlite-close db)
