It seems like the mount failed, which is fishy.  Does /.rw-store exist
after that?  Normally ‘deco start cow-store’ creates it, and then
immediately mounts a unionfs on it, and moves it to /gnu/store.

Using ‘--no-substitutes’ means that everything will be built locally,
which may take a lot of time.

Did you try without ‘--no-substitutes’?  You may get a message about
hydra.gnu.org being unresponsive, which means that the server is a bit
slow, which is unfortunately often the case currently.  This is an
annoyance, but should not prevent installation.

HTH,
