Hmm, installing didn't fix it though. The pythonpath thing was because I 
just installed python2 and is unrelated I think. Unclear to me from the 
output though, did it attempt to install it at that point?

Also, I have this problem on 2 boxes. The other box I did not have 
guile-json installed (I think):

ben@ben:~/git/guix_ben/ben/packages$ guix package -I guile-json
warning: failed to install locale: Invalid argument
ben@ben:~/git/guix_ben/ben/packages$

Correct. My install procedure was I think quite by the book, as you know 
at http://lists.open-bio.org/pipermail/bio-packaging/2015-June/000012.html

import never worked but then I cannot remember if I tried it or not.

I am running the daemon like so
root@u:~# /root/.guix-profile/bin/guix-daemon 
--build-users-group=guix-builder --no-substitutes

ok.
