Very likely you have chosen inappropriate cache methods for the ebuilds with eix, or the corresponding data is not readable by user/group portage/portage (250:250): The recommended way of using the metadata cache method works only if your overlay provides that metadata or if you call egencache to generate it. However, there are also other possibilities as sketched in the section SPEEDUP in the eix manpage. If you need further help post the output of eix-update. In any case: Check whether user/group portage/portage has the permissions to read overlays and metadata.
