Probably because it was loading the file as a Scheme report instead of
treating it as eguile.  I think the 'reports' directory might get
auto-loaded as scheme, which wouldn't be what you want.

This error implies what I said above, something is trying to load your
eguile as scheme, which is wrong.  It's not scheme, it is eguile.  So
the scheme parser is barfing.

Are you telling it to load the eguile.scm somewhere?
