When that happened to me, it took me forever to find out, so I'm happy to save you some pain:
The -L adds to the *package* module search path. Guix loads all the scm files there to get the package definitions, I'm guessing so there doesn't need to be empty modules with a huge "requires" list of every package-containing module.

So I put my package definitions in a subdirectory of the channels directory, add that subdirectory to GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH, and add the channel root directory to GUILE_LOAD_PATH.
