The part of the man page that says
/etc/eix-sync-overlays A list of overlays that should be synced using gensync
from app-portage/gentoolkit-dev. A line that only contains an asterisk causes
eix-sync to sync all overlays, using gensync -a.

See above, you need to emerge gentoolkit-dev.

Thanks Neil. I definetely should have read further.
Now my problem is that eix doesn't seem to know about the packages in
the overlay while esearch does. Should it or have I missed some setup
that would make that work? I had assumed this sync thing that required
gensync would do it but it didn't.
Cheers,
Mark
