That's really weird. Look at this example:

with emerge -s:
SiRiUS tom # emerge -s sharpmusique-bazaar

and the ebuild is in:
SiRiUS tom # equery which sharpmusique-bazaar
/usr/local/overlays/layman/zugaina/media-sound/sharpmusique-bazaar/sharpmusique-bazaar-0.1-r1.ebuild

(cannot use proaudio overlay as example as i use a dev svn co as
overlay which is placed somewhere in my /home)

So there must be some error in your make.conf then i assume. Maybe post
the corresponding parts here.
