Thanks for trying!

If you followed steps 1 through 4, you will have created a symlink to root's
guix-profile in root's home directory.
Accordingly, you can start the daemon like this, as described in step 5:
# ~root/.guix-profile/bin/guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild
Does that work?
If not, can you double-check that '~root/.guix-profile' exists and
points to the correct place? You should be able to do something like
this:
# whoami
root
# ls -l ~/.guix-profile
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 Aug 14 2015 /root/.guix-profile ->
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile
# ls -l ~/.guix-profile/bin/guix-daemon
lrwxrwxrwx 4 root guixbuild 78 Dec 31 1969 /root/.guix-profile/bin/guix-daemon
->
/gnu/store/b4d41s3066gx6wjkpq505sc4rkbjmdf1-guix-0.10.0-0.7611/bin/guix-daemon
By the way, since guix-daemon is a daemon, it will block and appear to
do nothing when you start it. Just mentioning this since some users have
been confused the daemon's behavior.
