Ted -
Try this structure, which works in v 2.4.3, somewhat unpredictably:
%
\paper {
betweensystempadding = -.10\in
betweensystemspace = 0.30\in
}%end paper
\score {
\layout {
\context { \Staff minimumVerticalExtent = #

You have a typo there: your example says "bottommaragin" instead of
"bottommargin". Hope it helps!
