I forgot all the details, I was an absolute starter with Elisp and I got
stuck sometimes and received help from the org-babel creator Eric
Schulte. Of course some language specific details caused problems, but
the resulting code was not only a copy with some tiny changes. 

Maybe you could figure out which parts of ob-scheme don't do what they
should and then compare these parts with its counterparts in
ob-picolisp - it might give you some ideas for alternative solutions.
