so I copied the old dir (cp -Rp) to:

I hope that's just a typo. It should be "/usr/local/portage/layman".
and edited the /etc/make.conf to to this:
source /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf
You also need to edit /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf and change all
paths to the new ones. For example "/usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise"
should become "/usr/local/portage/layman/sunrise".
Also, make sure to "rm -r /usr/portage/layman/".
I still get the original error message about repo_name
Hmm, you shouldn't. Try to "layman -d" all overlays and then re-add them.
Also, try to rebuild the portage cache with "emerge --metadata" and see
if that helps.

Hmm, permission problems? Try:
