Can you emerge attr, then run lsattr on the files that cannot be
unlinked? I suspect that they might have extended attributes
preventing those file from being deleted. If you do have extended
attributes, you can remove them using chattr, I've had extended
attributes appear before and to this day don't understand why they
showed up.
