It's not clear from your (Dor/Katsmall's) article whether the program 
you transferred to the other computer was created with "Create 
Executable".

To summarize (search for Create Executable in Help Desk), the Create 
Executable command in DrScheme is used for exactly what you need; that 
is, it bundles up a scheme file with the MrEd binary _and_ with all of 
the necessary libraries, e.g. the one your program is looking for in 
mzlib.

If you already used Create Executable to create this file, then this 
looks like a bug... unless your program does some kind of 
dynamic-require'ing.
