Well, here issomething which might help -- output from update-eix.

Reading Portage settings ..
Building database (/var/cache/eix) ..
[0] /usr/portage/ (cache: metadata)
     Reading 100%
[1] /usr/portage/local/layman/gnome-experimental (cache: eix*
[/usr/portage/local/layman/gnome-experimental])
     Reading 100%
[2] /usr/portage/local/layman/mozilla (cache: eix*
[/usr/portage/local/layman/mozilla])
     Reading 100%
Applying masks ..
Database contains 11558 packages in 149 categories.

Now why is it still reading from the non existent directories
/usr/portage/local/layman/gnome-experimental and
/usr/portage/local/layman/mozilla ?  I am reasonablyy certain if we
can solve this, my problems will be solved.
