I tried changing config.user to read "(load (gnc-build-dotgnucash-path “psl-budget.scm”))” again, per the wiki, but it did not change the results. THe report doesn’t load. Neither are there any errors at the console when I run GnuCash. It appears that the report is entirely ignored by the startup.

I use gnucash 2.6.6 on fedora 21.  I have 3 custom reports I use.  I
have each on a line in HOME/.gnucash/config.user

(load "/users/home/.gnucash/myreport.scm")

Try the debug settings in the wiki to see more console output. (Not at
my gnucash computer at the moment).  Make sure you change the
(gnc:define-report stuff I think it's at the end of the report and it
needs a guid as I recall there is a console program that comes with
gnucash to generate the guid.
