I think your symbolic links were incorrectly constructed. The
target file names beginning with "myroot/usr/..." are relative path
names; they should be absolute path names in this case. Try this:
ln -sf ~/myroot/usr/share/vim/vim70/macros/matchit.txt ~/.vim/doc
ln -sf ~/myroot/usr/share/vim/vim70/macros/matchit.vim ~/.vim/plugin
