I'll not be learning scheme just to fix this.  If someone could explain it,  
it would be a help.

I don't believe the line:

override[LINE_WIDTH] = '5\\in' # = texinfo_line_widths['@smallbook']

does actually set the line width in this case.  2 reasons: 1) 5 inches is  
127mm, which is too small to create the black bars. 2)  As stated, if I  
replace the line with the scheme in with the line I proposed, the black  
bars disappear.

FWIW, the code I cited has this before it:

        # Set a default line-width if there is none. We need this, because
        # lilypond-book has set left-padding by default and therefore does
        # #(define line-width (- line-width (* 3 mm)))
        # TODO: Junk this ugly hack if the code gets rewritten to  
concatenate
        # all settings before writing them in the \paper block.
