Ouch! not so merry at this time of yea.

Well my understanding of the emerge command is that resume works only
on the current/last call to emerge and since you have been through the
--emptytree all the way you have nothing to resume.
I confess I dont understand the message but I would assume that if you
emege something else then the "last" emege call will be reset and then
hopefully resume will be working next time you need it, not sure how
you can test to see if resume works unless you try and build a package
that is going to fail then try the resume function.
