This seems wrong, at least for normal PLT Scheme (I have not used
R6RS).  A statement like

  (require (file "foo.ss"))

[or just (require "foo.ss")]

will look for foo.ss in the same directory as the current module.
There is no need for this directory to be in PLTCOLLECTS.

You might find define-runtime-path useful for your application, but it
doesn't sound like you're using modules and collections in the way
they're intended to be used.

HTH,
