Yes, you need to disable snapcache in your catalyst config `options` value:

# snapcache = cache the snapshot so that it can be bind-mounted into the
chroot.
# WARNING: moving parts of the portage tree from within fsscript *will*
break
# your cache. The cache is unlinked before any empty or rm processing,
though.

In general I tend to keep a different catalyst config for stage 4 and stage
1-3, passing in the appropriate config file using `-c`
