Someone in the forums provided a possible work around - Seems that the PARTUUID 
needed comes from GDISK as GPARTED doesn't show the correct one. 

They are doing what I'm trying except using Grub-Legacy not Grub2 so I'm fairly 
confident it'll work as needed.

The info they provided:

gdisk /dev/sdb
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.6

Partition table scan:
  MBR: protective
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: present

Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.

Command (? for help): i
Partition number (1-4): 1
Partition GUID code: C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B (EFI System)

Partition size: 81915372 sectors (39.1 GiB)

Partitions will be aligned on 8-sector boundaries

Command (? for help): q

title=Gentoo Linux (kernel-3.0.0-gentoo-r1 boot-Test über PartUUID mit gdisk 
unique guid)

root=PARTUUID=29884E5A-69FF-42E8-AB7B-0DEB95FB6EA9

Notice that the did make a mistake in their post - watch the PARTUUID to see 
what I'm talking about. Easy enough to fix as they showed the entire gdisk info 
for the root= command.
