This command line creates an empty dists/gutsy/Release before running
apt-ftparchive, so when apt-ftparchive finally runs, it finds that extra
file and thinks it should create an entry for it. Instead, you could

apt-ftparchive -c /home/joe/etc/apt-gutsy-release.conf release
dists/gutsy > /tmp/Release.tmp ; mv /tmp/Release.tmp dists/gutsy/Release

That should fix your issue.

As always, be careful with temporary files and such.
