I am trying to setup an offload daemon.

I have everything setup correctly (I think ;)

$ guix offload test completes successfully.

The offload daemon is actually guix on a foreign distro (Debian sid in
this case).

Neither guix running on top of a Debian (sid and jessie) nor guixsd seem
to even call out to the offload daemon. All boxen are 64.

My /etc/guix/machines.scm is here

(list (build-machine
       (name "thor.lab01.jamestechnotes.com")
       (system "x86_64-linux")
       (host-key "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIJf0ezYgeVFit40VJwaBEW1dGm2Xz+SHzVmib8IbN58y root@thor")
       (user "guix")
       (speed 1.)
       (private-key
	(string-append (getenv "HOME")
       	       "/.ssh/identity-for-guix"))))

Is x86_64-linux the proper system type?

Is there a way to query the string that quix/guile actually uses to
match system?

Thanks,
James Richardson
