The only idea i have is that you are chrooting to the wrong directory.

root@nick:/home/fester # chroot /new/new/source/
chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory
root@nick:/home/fester # cd /new/new/source/
.bash_profile etc/ menu.sh sbin/
.bash_profile~ floppy/ menu.sh~ sys/
.bash_profileold home/ mnt/ tmp
bin/ knoppix/ none/ usr/
boot/ lib/ opt/ var/
cdrom/ menu proc/
dev/ menu~ root/

I dunno what else to say, except maybe there's a weird thing with DSL's chroot or bash. It does seem to be picky about using trailing slashes, so you might try that. For instance, I've noticed that "ls directory" returns the directory itself, when "ls directory/" returns the contents.
