If it's like most cases running things in a chroot environment, you  
have libraries that are referenced that lie outside the chroot  
limits. You can go through the tedious process of trying to find them  
all but, if you have the disk space, you might want to copy the  
entire root /bin, /lib and /etc to the changed root directory. You  
can then minimize the /etc information so it doesn't give away any  
information like users, groups and passwords. It's a similar problem  
to running ftp in a chroot and not having "ls" support if you've ever  
had to deal with that.
