I think that if you have it in your path, it is enough. The error that 
you get when trying biblatex _might_ be misleading. In my test with the 
acs style that you posted, it did not work when I put acs.bst under

${TexMacs user directory}/progs/bibtex, but it worked when I put it in 
the local TeX directory (bibtex/bst subdirectory). Maybe someone more 
expert can confirm/correct.

Also, if it still does not work, the error messages that possibly appear 
in the terminal might be helpful (you have to run TeXmacs from the 
terminal).
