You cannot use autoupdates with Gentoo ebuilds. You have to choose:

-Either you use the Gentoo ebuilds, then you will have to update over Gentoo 
ebuilds
-or you use the installer from the website, no support from me or Gentoo side, 
but autoupdates are
possible.


There are some reasons for this:
-Gentoo ebuilds build a jar for every dependency instead of 1 jar containing 
everything
(freenet-ext.jar)
-Gentoo ebuilds place the jars in a root-only writeable dir, no user, including 
freenet user, is
allowed to modify the jars
-Gentoo ebuilds track the dependencies, so can make sure that everything needed 
is updated, if you
mix them with autoupdates, this is not any more possible and may break your 
install (unlikely, but
possible)
