I assume then, that this is a Linux system.

One way would be trying to debug libltdl, that comes with guile directly.

What I think of is using a tool that monitors system calls. On Linux this is
`strace' (there are similar tools on other Unixes, but with different
names).

Do the following:

$ strace -o xx guile -s <yourscript>
$ vi xx

Then look for the open(...) calls in `xx'. That can tell you what libltdl is
doing and may provide hints about what is wrong. Note that not all calls to
open() are from libltdl, so to narrow this down, look for those who try
something with "postgres".

I' afraid I can't tell you more than that at this stage without the output
from strace.
