Of course GIMP needs to look in the ~/.gimp-2.4/scripts directory. GIMP ships 
with a number of scripts. There needs to be a separate directory were users 
can put their own scripts or ones written by others.

All scripts are read in to a single namespace. If two scripts have conflicting 
  definitions for items defined outside of a function (ie. global to the 
file), there will be problems running the functions from one of those files.

I found a cross-processing.scm script listed in the GIMP plug-in registry. It 
was written for GIMP 2.0 and needs some minor updates before it can be used 
properly with a 2.4 version of GIMP.

Now you have a slightly better idea of how things work in regards to Script-Fu 
scripts.
