First thank you trying the 3.0 code.  But I haven't done any testing
using the portage_confdir option.  And it looks like it is broken.

Please use 2.0.16 which I just released today.  It is stable catalyst.
I will try to get the problem in 3.0 fixed as soon as possible.  Also
what do you have in portage_confdir?
