I had a same/similar issue the 1st time I tried to use a 'clean chroot'
It's been a while and I'm kinda of vague on the details.  My problem 
boiled down to I had installed to a 2nd USB drive and had/was having 
some mounting issues w/ whole drive in general.   I think MY issue was 
permission(s) on the chroot/drive but once I move it to my $HOME it 
worked flawlessly.

Not any real advice just maybe something will click for someone else 
that can help you.
