I didn't get the error you're getting, but I think what you need is this
section from the manual:

"EXPORT may be a symbol or a list of the form
 (IDENTIFIER1 IDENTIFIER2 ...). In the former case the identifier given
 is exported from the module and can be imported at the toplevel or in
 other modules. The latter case exports IDENTIFIER1 (which should name
 a macro) and also arranges for the remaining identifiers in the list
 to be visible in the expansion of the macro (this is a hint to the
 module expander to export bindings referenced by syntax-definitions
 which make use of them, but which would normally be internal to the
 module - which gives more opportunities for optimization)."

In other words, do (module embedded-test ((test register)) ...)

I think it worked because the code you pasted in the mail also exported
REGISTER, which your real code perhaps does not?

Cheers,
Peter
