It might have something to do with your chroot parameters, but I'm not 
sure.  You might try it without the allow-root param, just to see if 
that's the problem.  Check the user's permissions to the repository too.

Just a stab in the dark here, that same command works fine on my FC2 
system (but I don't use a chroot either).
