Nah, that part is fine and working as intended, its this part that is
the problem:

For obvious reasons since gentoo is a source-based distribution we
dont allow the compilation/installation to access the real filesystem
directly: everything happends inside a directory (sandbox) and
attempts to modify/write to outside that result in sandbox violations
like that one above.

I've got 30 egg ebuilds working correctly so far, but tinyclos is not
respecting its path directives when ti comes to the 'examples'
directory and attempting to install in the main filesystem, instead of
where specified by the -R option passed to it.

Until that's fixed, I can't supply a working a tinyclos ebuild.
