Chris,
	I recently had a similar problem porting a program that required
chroot().  The problem is that the alias $LOCAL wants to be set to /<local>
where <local> is your machine name.  The only thing required is that you
create a /<local> subdirectory within the directory that is to be the new
root.  It is documented, but crypticly under chroot().
