My suspicion is that you are missing some dynamic libraries that are needed in the chroot environment. I did an experiment, I just copied the 'ls' program to an empty directory, moved to that directory, and executed the command 'chroot . ./ls.' The output was that the ls command could not be found. Then I copied the /lib directory to the new directory I created, and repeated the 'chroot . ./ls' command; this time it worked. So I think probably you have some libraries set up in the host environment that are not available in the chroot environment. If that isn't the answer, then I don't know what else to try.
