To answer my own question somewhat see below - although I need to think a

Instead of calling read on the file there is a function in (guix ui) called
"load*" which will do the heavy lifting for you:
(define my-channels
(let ((file (option-ref options 'channel #f)))
(load* file (make-user-module '((guix channels))))))
