The whole issue of the gafrc file is a FAQ:
http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:usage#what_are_the_names_and_locations_of_the_rc_files_used_with_geda_gaf_applications
As for where to put the files, perhaps this will clarify things:
Settings you want to apply to all your designs (as a user) should go in
$HOME/.geda/gafrc
Settings you want to apply to only this particular project should go
in the local project directory (for example,
/home/myname/myproject/gafrc)/
As for symbols not being found, keep in mind that
(component-library "./") in your ~/.gEDA/gafrc will tell gschem to
look for symbols in "~/.gEDA/gafrc/". Is this what you want?
If your symbols live in your project dir, then put
(component-library "./") in your project gafrc (i.e. in
/usr/home/tomdean/cad/work/gafrc).
