TOTALLY WEIRD.  I do a layman -L on my machine and strangely enough,

I look up the overlays listing on the gentoo overlays list, here:

I don't understand why layman wouldn't report ecatmur in his listing

I remember somewhere that there was something you had to edit to make 
the overlays appear in the listing, (the stock layman would only show 
a few entries I think).  Maybe this is an extension of that idea but I 
couldn't find what to edit in the documentation.  Any ideas?

For me it helped to change following line in layman.cfg:

# Strict checking of overlay definitions
#
# Set either to "yes" or "no". If "no" layman will issue
# warnings if an overlay definition is missing either
# description or contact information.
#
nocheck  : no

to yes.

This may be related. I just installed layman, and the only thing I get when
I run "layman -L" is 

* swegener  [Rsync ] (source:\
* rsync://rsync.gentoo.steal...)

Could this be a networking/firewall problem?

Did you run layman --fetch to update the overlays?

[gentoo-user] layman -L does not show ecatmur, but I can layman -a ecatmur.

I'm currently dual-booting a machine that I'd like to shift completely to
gentoo, but I left an ubuntu installaiton in the other disk (where I hope to
transfer my gentoo).  However, my brother has been downloading some torrents
for weeks on end, and their sessions have been left alive in the
gnome-btdownload interface.  It gets annoying when he boots up to ubuntu
