Hi Chris

Apologies for the delay in response. Meanwhile I have done a clean
reinstall of guix version 0.15 and the error persists:
...
shepherd: Service user-homes could not be started.
shepherd: Service term-auto could not be started.
...

is output by 'guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm' after a 'guix
pull' (both run as root).

Output you requested:

rs@anu ~$ sudo lsblk -p -o NAME,TYPE,FSTYPE,LABEL,UUID,MOUNTPOINT
NAME                      TYPE  FSTYPE      LABEL   UUID

Also, my current /etc/config.scm is attached.

Look forward to help on resolving these somewhat irritating errors.
