Just as a guess, you need to have an appropriate sudoers file in the correct location relative to the chrooted root. Pulling some information from one of your follow up posts, that would be:

/var/mnt/192.168.1.52/etc/sudoers

Once you chroot, programs look for files in their normal locations but relative to whatever the new root is.
