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.
Cheers,
Dave
