No, no, no... do you see those /.../ in the path? That's because the path is really long, and variable, and not so suitable to type out in it's entirety.
use.desc and use.local/desc are in the folder that /etc/make.profile are symlinked to, which is /usr/portage/profiles/your_profile_version .
So that's where you want to check for the permissions.
Actually, use.desc and use.local.desc are only stored in /usr/portage/profiles. So, I'd look for permissions in there, but something tells me that EUSE is just being foolish. I assume your make.profile is a modern style symlink to something in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/.... If you had an old-style link this would work, but with the new deeper directories this won't work.
HTH, Chris
