It should be chrooted in the named directory:

  https://linux.die.net/man/8/rpm

  --root DIRECTORY

    Use the file system tree rooted at DIRECTORY for all operations.
    Note that this means the database within DIRECTORY will be used
    for dependency checks and any scriptlet(s) (e.g. %post if
    installing, or %prep if building, a package) will be run after
    a chroot(2) to DIRECTORY.

Depends on how you've populated the chroot environment.  Are those
files copies, or hard links?

I've hosed myself by improperly mounting /dev in the chroot
environment, and from within there, deleting things...
