I think your symbolic links were incorrectly constructed.  The 
target file names beginning with "myroot/usr/..." are relative path 
names; they should be absolute path names in this case.  Try this:

    ln -sf ~/myroot/usr/share/vim/vim70/macros/matchit.txt ~/.vim/doc
    ln -sf ~/myroot/usr/share/vim/vim70/macros/matchit.vim ~/.vim/plugin

HTH,
Gary
