debootstrap command fails

I'm trying to follow these instructions on a system running Xubuntu linux 6.06

I get as far as running the debootsrap command...

debootstrap --arch i386 dapper /mnt/buildroot

...which eventually fails here:

I: Extracting sysvinit...
I: Extracting tar...
I: Extracting util-linux...
I: Extracting zlib1g...
W: Failure trying to run: chroot /mnt/buildroot mount -t proc proc /proc

Have tried re-partitioning and formatting my usb drive a couple of times now, but it still chokes in the same place.

Any suggestions?
