Automatically copy files out of chroot before it is destroyed?

I want a script to automatically run some commands in a pbuilder chroot, 
and then copy some files out of the chroot before it is destroyed. Can 
this be done?

To run the commands in the pbuilder chroot, I put "pbuilder 
execute/login" in the script. If in the script I follow this line with 
the command to copy files out of the chroot, it fails because the chroot 
is already destroyed.

I looked at the various pbuilder hooks, thinking I could trigger one 
before the chroot is destroyed, but I think all hooks are executed in 
the chroot, so they can't copy files out of the chroot.

How can I automatically copy files out of a pbuilder chroot before it is 
destroyed?

Thanks!
