Actually revdep-rebuild -X is broken in the current stable version. Until I get gentoolkit-0.2.4 stable, your choices are to either run the unstable version of gentoolkit (gentoolkit-0.2.4_pre7 right now) or grab the patch from bug #169761 <http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=113125> and apply it to your version of revdep-rebuild.
