I only use the standard emerge utility. I can't access the system at the moment since I'm at work. I was hoping to have some ideas to try out tonight. I believe my cron job just does a straight call to "emerge --sync" (e.g. no wrapping script, etc.); and it runs sometime between midnight and 6 A

Yes - emerge --depclean. And syncing portage is done nightly using a cron job to do "emerge --sync"; however, I run "emerge world -vuDNp" manually. (The system also hosts portage via rsync for my other gentoo system on my network too, which I manually sync against it; I might be adding another
