I don't know.  It should not matter, but just try it.  What happens if
you also prepend ...LilyPond\usr\bin to PATH, like lilypond.bat does,
ie, insert

  set "PATH=c:\programme\lilypond\usr\bin;%PATH%"

Waitaminute.  Strange problems often have to do with file permissions.
Have you installed LilyPond as superuser?  Double check if you can
actually open the file ice-9/boot-9.scm, in a text editor for example.

That's the same problem.

By specifying the absolute file name, but guile.bat already does that.
That was a silly remark.
