It's expecting a string, likely part of (string-append (assoc-ref input
"guile") "/bin/guile"), probably from the guile-build-system. But if
there is no input named "guile" then (assoc-ref input "guile") returns
'#f' so that's what the error means.

Looks like you should put guile back into the guix.scm :)
