Sounds like a python bug.  getcwd() must be returning an incorrect value
while under the chroot.  The interesting thing is how it gets to the
above path from
"/home/r0g/code/projects/Techbench/remaster/workspace/squashfs".  Just
on a hunch - is there a symlink anywhere in the path you're passing as a
parameter, pointing to an actual path that matches what appears in the
error message?
