You were pretty close.  You need to do the following (guile treats #! and
!# as comments ala /* and */ in C):

#!/usr/bin/guile -s
!#

(display "Hi!")
(newline)

NOTE:    be sure there is nothing (as in spaces) after the -s option.  If you
leave a space, you'll get guile's usage.

NOTEII:  Would it be possible to get this added to the FAQ?  For that matter,
         is anyone going to update the anonymous cvs page (I sent in a 
         contextual diff earlier that addressed this).
