No, but if works for me here (in profiles/categories, under the
overlay itself). So, I wonder what's different about your system.
Are you sure that you spelled the category correctly?

You can get a list of valid categories like this:

  python -c 'import portage; print portage.settings.categories'

Does your category show in that list?
