Don't you mean (display #\tab)??  Anyway, it works fine for me:

	> (define (d2num x y)
	    (display x)
	    (display #\tab)
	    (display y)
	    (newline))
	> (for-each d2num '(12 34 56) '(98 76 54))
	12      98
	34      76
	56      54
	> 

Perhaps the terminal you're running on doesn't support tabs?
