I was able to reproduce that.

Upstream used to check for errors by testing the errno variable for zero
without explicitly resetting it to zero before calling chroot(). This
has been fixed in revision 1471 in upstream SVN by checking for the
return value of chroot() instead.
I will double-check that this really fixes the reported issue and
prepare a new upload tonight (unless someone else of the Debian RRDTool
team does so before).
Thanks for reporting this!
Cheers,
Sebastian
