I have a 10 year old Core2 as an emergency backup machine.  Let's just
say it's not as fast as modern machines. To speed up "emerge --sync". I
put a bunch of unneeded stuff in an "rsync_excludes" file (attached).
Now "emerge --sync" has started failing, because it obviously can't
verify the missing directories/files.  Here's the error message...

Manifest verification failed:
Manifest mismatch for app-dicts/Manifest.gz
  __exists__: expected: True, have: False


app_dicts is the first entry in my "rsync_excludes", and I assume that
all the other entries would be problematic too.  How do I turn off this
bleeping "helpful" verification feature?

It fails at the first exclude entry always - I wrote this already. The whole manifest verification is buggy like hell - not well deliberated. Even if you sync from a local mirror it loads the key from the default key server. My suggestion is to disable it if you don't stay with the default.
