Did you follow the steps in the wiki to create the chroot ?

usage makechrootpkg [options] -r <chrootdir> [--] [makepkg args]

so for example makechrootpkg -c -r /home/myhome/archchroot -- -s -c -r
the first -c will clean your chroot
the first -r says where you have put your chroot
-- means the rest of the args goto makepkg
-s == get the deps as stated in the PKGBUILD
-c == cleanup after build ( remove src and pkg dirs )
-r == remove dependencies after build

the -s and -r flags for makepkg require sudo

more extended information can be found here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg

of course in combination with the Clean Chroot documentation

hope it helps you on track
