Glad you figured it out. I had a symlink in my normal account's home
directory's .nix-defexpr like yours, and it only had an effect when
running nix-env as my normal user. Was always setting NIX_PATH on the
command line when running nixos-rebuild.

Hmm I have that too but it doesn't work. Is yours like this (with myhead
for mypkgs)?
$ ls ~/.nix-defexpr/ -al
...
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jefdaj users 22 Apr 17 10:46 mypkgs -> /path/to/mypkgs
...
I think I found the other/main problem: `NIX_PATH` isn't
sticking during `nixos-rebuild` because I put it i

I'd like all the nix tools to reference my package repository, which is
called mypkgs and re-exports nixpkgs with some custom ones added. I
base it on the latest nixos-unstable revision so there should be
binaries available.
Currently I set NIX_PATH using `environment.interactiveShellInit`. That
