/usr : 40755 , rwx, rwx, r-x
/usr/portage : 40700, rwx, ---, ---
/usr/portage/distfiles : 40755, rwx, rwx, r-x
You only gave a partial answer. What user are you running as when you
get the error, and what user/group owns those dirs?
Unless you are running as the user who owns /usr/portage or as root,
you will clearly get a permission denied. (and that assumes there are
no ACLs involved.)
