Since you use chroot() I assume you have a good reason and that you're
aware of the consequences, such as needing to provide a separate copy
of the mysql client library within the jail.

Also, connection to localhost uses a domain socket, which will be
inaccessible to you after chroot, unless you take very special action.
Use the full host name of the server to connect via TCP/IP instead.
This is probably your problem.
