I'm not quite sure, but you might want to try this:

  revdep-rebuild -X -av

Note that, according to the usage message, revdep-rebuild options should
be first, and *separate* from emerge options. This is due to the way
revdep-rebuild (a shell script) parses its command line: as soon as it
finds an option it doesn't know, it passes it to emerge. Your first line
was quite close, but revdep-rebuild doesn't allow combined options (i.e.
-Xav instead of -X -a -v).

HTH.
