>Description:
pkg_add appears to chdir back to its calling directory after installed the package.  When installing into a chroot that directory may not exist in the chroot and pkg_add fails.
>How-To-Repeat:
# mkdir /does/not/exist/in/scratchpad
# cd /does/not/exist/in/scratchpad
# pkg_add -C /scratchpad/pkg_env /usr/ports/packages/All/perl-threaded-5.12.3.txz

Use `chroot /scratchpad/pkg_env pkg_add ...` or start pkg_add from a directory that exists in the chroot environment.
