By default, file systems are automatically mounted at boot time.  To
avoid that, you must add:

  (mount? #f)

> failed to start service 'file-systems'
> failed to start service 'file-system-/host/home/hinsen'

This is the crux of the problem: it tried and failed to mount this file
system, so everything else failed as well (because the =E2=80=98file-system=
s=E2=80=99
service is an essential requirement.)

This is not a great failure mode, but it=E2=80=99s expected here.

HTH!
