Another thing:

My CacheDir line in pacman.conf was commented out as I was using the
default:  /var/cache/pacman/pkg/.
So when using makechrootpkg, it downloaded packages in the build
directory. I am wondering if it wouldn't be better to give the
cache_dir variable a default value of  /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
