Does this have a figurative meaning, like telling someone that they are 'collectors', or even 'hoarding' ?

Yes, this is definitely a cognate of "Eichhorn" resp. the more often used diminutive "Eichhörnchen". Danish "eg" = English "oak" = German "Eiche".

It reminds me, a german person, of "Eckern" or more precise "Bucheckern", the fruit of a beech.
