Here's the relevant error shown in the log:

tar: unrecognized option '--xattrs-include=*'
Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
tar failed with status 64

It seems that you need >=app-arch/tar-1.27. I'll add a dependency to the ebuild.

The ebuilds are fixed in cvs to require >=app-arch/tar-1.27.
