huh... what file permisions do you have in /usr/portage?
please, note, that UIDs can be different in VPS and host system.
Also please check cat /proc/sys/fs/ve-area-access-check
if it is non-zero value, then echo 0 to it.
This check makes sure that your VPS has no access to trusted data or 
host system don't access to untrusted one. Just disable it as we did in 
recent kernel by default.

yes. see scripts in /etc/sysconfig/vz-scripts
