How did you set up guix-daemon?

Behind the scenes, guix-daemon invokes the internal ‘guix offload’
command.  That command requires Guile-SSH¹.  In your case, it looks like
Guile-SSH was found at configure-time when building Guix, but is now
missing at run time, hence this “offload: command not found” error.

Could you make sure the GUILE_LOAD_PATH environment variable seen by
guix-daemon points to Guile-SSH?

HTH,
Ludo’.
