did you first run emerge metadata and check the world file to be sure the
standard baselayout is replaced with the vserver one in the listing? it

unique to a certain tar version?

there were some start/stop issues with earlier tools on gentoo. -r4 is the
first one to work properly with their fixes for it. i just installed -r5
which seems to be working well once i figure out what i dont have configured
correctly when using depends.
