Do I need to re-run layman now to point it to the new repo locations?

You need to edit /etc/layman/layman.cfg to change the storage setting.

Thanks Neil... I actually did that, but I also stupidly copy/pasted the new PORTDIR_OVERLAY line, and left them BOTH in make.conf...

Duh...

Once I commented out the old one, eix-sync worked fine with no errors...

Then I mv'd the old /usr/portage dir, did an emerge -pvuDN world, and discovered one more thing that must be done after moving PORTDIR...

You must reset your profile link, which is broken after mv'ing the old /usr/portage dir.

eselect profile set 1 (in my case)

Thanks to all for helping me with this and prepping for merging /usr back into / (this was part of that, to reduce the amount of stuff to copy, and to give me a little more free space on / after the move).

Looking forward to getting this done and moving on with my life,,, ;)
