This is very strange.

These all work from the root command
line.

1) jk_chrootlaunch -u foo -g foo -j
/var/foojail -x /usr/local/bin/foo -- -c /usr/local/etc/foo.conf 
2) jk_chrootlaunch -j /var/foojail -x
/usr/local/bin/foo -- -c /usr/local/etc/foo.conf 
3) chroot /var/foojail /usr/local/bin/foo
-c /usr/local/etc/foo.conf 
4) chroot /var/foojail /bin/bash
        /usr/local/bin/foo
-c /usr/local/etc/foo.conf 

But this fails:
N1:345:respawn:jk_chrootlaunch -u foo
-g foo -j /var/foojail -x /usr/local/bin/foo -- -c /usr/local/etc/foo.conf
