can't exec /usr/sbin/named-xfer: Permission denied

The continuing saga:

Hey guys... I'm noticed my servers ar having the same problem as Brian,
yet when trying to strace chroot a bash shell in my named chroot jail, I
noticed the following:

-----------------------
chroot("/chroot/named")                 = 0
execve("/bin/bash", ["/bin/bash"], [/* 30 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
brk(0x804a6ac)                          = 0x804a6ac
brk(0x804b000)                          = 0x804b000
stat("/etc/locale/C/libc.cat", 0xbffff53c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
stat("/usr/share/locale/C/libc.cat", 0xbffff53c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
stat("/usr/share/locale/libc/C", 0xbffff53c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
stat("/usr/share/locale/C/libc.cat", 0xbffff53c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
stat("/usr/local/share/locale/C/libc.cat", 0xbffff53c) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
write(2, "execvp: No such file or director"..., 34execvp: No such file or
directory
) = 34
_exit(1)                                = ?
-----------------

Now, I realize this is getting a bit OT, but I think it may be linked to
my named-xfer not running from a chrooted named.

/bin/bash exists in both the real world and my chroot jail... yet it's not
found running 'strace chroot /chroot/named /bin/bash'.  All the libraries
are their, but what gets my attention is the five stats looking for
'blah/blah/libc.cat'.  What the heck is this file?!?  I have a
/usr/share/locale directory, but no 'C' directory or any libc.cat files.
I then checked several other servers of different Slack vintage... none 
have libc.cat files either.  What is this, and how can I fake it in a
chroot?  /bin/bash obviously works in the normal world, and a strace of it
shows no calls to /usr/share/locale/*, so I assume chroot needs these
files.  Help!
