I've got the same problem when triyng to make the chroot with only some libraries. When I tried to su the same message was happened:

su: user xxxxxdoes not exist

Seems not all libraries was copied to the chroot subdirectory, so you can try to copy all if you've prepared the chroot dir

cp --parent -avR /usr/lib64 /CHROOT_DIR
cp --parent -avR /usr/lib /CHROOT_DIR
ln -s /CHROOT_DIR/usr/lib64 /CHROOT_DIR/lib64
ln -s /CHROOT_DIR/usr/lib64 /CHROOT_DIR/lib64
