I emerged development-sources-2.6.0_beta9, and it said that it was, in fact, the vanilla sources and I should emerge gentoo-dev-sources for a kernel tested on gentoo. So, I unmerged development-sources-2.6.0_beta9 and tried to emerge gentoo-dev-sources, but it won't work.

This more than likely has to do with the kernel.eclass problems we were having earlier. You should emerge --sync and then remerge gentoo-dev-sources. Let us know if it's still borked.
ran "emerge sync" and tried to reemerge it, but once again got the same exact message. should i delete both files it uses and try again? I know there is nothing wrong with the 2.6.0_beta9 because I just got done emerging, compiling, and testing that and it worked fine, really pokey, but fine. I don't know what kernel.eclass is or what it does, so I can't really for you and see if that's what it is. If you want me to try something else, just let me know.
Found out what the problem is (its within the eclass) will check this out when i can, will most likely be in about 8 hours (after work)
This was fixed and verified working. Can you please attach your /usr/portage/eclass/kernel.eclass so I can verify your using the newer version. As far as I was aware this was solved.
solved in the newer eclass
