OK, try doing:

emerge --metadata

Also, have you done a emerge --sync since this started?

Sounds like it might just be a cache corruption - if the cache was
corrupted during the rsync process in an emerge--sync, then just doing
a emerge --metadata won't help, but if was just corrupted on disk (in
the /var/cache/edb dir), then a emerge --metadata might do it.
