Good catch!

That is indeed what changed in the development of gnucash 2.6. I had to move 
some libraries around to get gnucash working properly with guile 2.0. All 
reports included in gnucash obviously were updated, but external reports 
aren't. The trace file posted earlier on this conversation already gave it 
away really, but I missed it myself :(

Thanks for spotting this David J. !
