To half-answer my own question: guile 2 seems to have a function 
(current-filename), so something like (dirname (current-filename)) 
instead of "my-scheme-dir" might work. Though LilyPond is still using 
guile 1.8, this at least puts a possible future solution on the horizon.

In case someone knows a method that works now, I'm still interested.
