What's the result of the following command?
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
grep --context=3 \
        %sysconfdir \
        "$(dirname $(realpath 
/run/current-system/profile/bin/guix-daemon))/../share/guile/site/3.0/guix/config.scm"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


For me, it's:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define %localstatedir
  "/var")

(define %sysconfdir
  "/etc")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Can you build Guix from git[1], reconfigure your system with it[2], then run
above command again to see if the result changes?

If it works, don't forget to move files in /usr/local to their new paths and
restart guix-daemon.  Then try to pull once with the new 
/run/current-system/profile/bin/guix.
