Couple of things:

1) You should not be adding the above to conf/local.conf. Instead, you should 
set MACHINE in conf/local.conf to point to the appropriate machine (in this 
case "overo")

2) You must add at least the path to the directory where meta-gumstix is 
located on your build machine (and possibly meta-gumstix-extras) to 
conf/bblayers.conf.

If you don't do both of these you will continue to get the errors above.

Cheers,
Paul
