Works fine here. Which version of findutils have you installed? Also, emerge
--info is missing.

Comment 3 Ciaran McCreesh 2005-08-09 05:51:30 UTC

Yes, findutils will give an error if a file was present when it checked a
directory listing but removed by the time it gets to processing it. This is sane
behaviour.
