Many of the files were owned by root:portage

Now they are owned by portage:portage, but that did not 
fix the error:

The files that had their permissions changed were:

Maybe the '/usr/bin/emerge' executable is corrupted. Can I 
just scp over a copy from another similar arch machine?


Any other ideas?
