Since you’re using Guile 2.2, you also need to install “guile2.2-gnutls”
instead of “gnutls”.  For Guile-SSH, you need “guile-ssh”.

If everything is correct, you should see
~/.guix-profile/share/guile/site/2.2/{gnutls,ssh/auth}.scm and
~/.guix-profile/lib/guile/2.2/site-ccache/{gnutls,ssh/auth}.go.

HTH!
