chroot and su not playing nicely

SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (x86_64)
VERSION = 9
PATCHLEVEL = 3

I've set up a chrooted environment, as explained by one of the myriad
chroot how-to docs, including all libs required for 'su' to be run
(according to ldd), but chroot fails:

# sudo /usr/bin/chroot /home/chroot /bin/su - testuser
/usr/bin/chroot: cannot run command `/bin/su': No such file or
directory

Under home/chroot the following tree exists (amongst other unrelated
files and directories):

bin:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root 144 Oct 29 16:34 tls/

According to ldd, I've got all the libs necessary for 'su' to run, and
assuming the chroot succeeded, the file /bin/su exists. Given all
this, I'm unable to determine what I'm missing. Any explanations,
pointers, etc, would be appreciated.

Thanks,
