I always have my own symbols and footprints, some with the same name as
files shipped with gEDA/PCB. And I think a few of John Luciani's
footprints have the same name as files shipped with PCB.

For me these configuration files solved this problem (for gsch2pcb),
giving John's files higher priority than PCB's own files, and my local
files even higher priority: 

stefan@AMD64X2 ~ $ cat /mnt/data/stefan/gEDA/DAD/gafrc 
(debug-options (list 'stack 200000))
(component-library "../imported-symbols/")
(component-library "../gedasymbols.org_salewski_symbols/")
(component-library "../custom-symbols/")
;(component-library "local-symbols/")
