I'm afraid I was never able to reproduce this.  Are you still
experiencing the issue with the latest (1.4.x) release of
schroot?

We call boost::filesystem::create_directories(directory)
to create the mountpoint.  This runs as root, so should never
fail unless there's something odd going on which prevents
mkdir(2) from working.
