I'm just using a chroot definition as follows:

    [foo]
    type=lvm-snapshot
    location=/nonexistant
    device=/dev/vg/chroot
    lvm-snapshot-options=--size 1G

And then:

    % sudo schroot -c foo-source
    E: boost::filesystem::create_directory
    E: foo-source: Chroot setup failed: stage=setup-start

I hope that, with that, you can reproduce.
