I've fixed the bug by using shutil.copyfile and os.unlink. It should be working now. So we just have to wait for an developer to bump the ebuild to esearch-0.4.2 ;-) I also replaced the counter (0% to 100%) by an ebuild-countdown, because the display was often wrong (as I see in your message where it only went up to 99%).
