Change '-d /home/chroot/./testssh/' to '-d /home/chroot/'
The dot ('/./') has nothing to do with your system or your permissions 
or whatever. It's just a string you use in your ssh(d) config. And 
that's the only place to use it.
(To be honest, I've never used it in an ssh env, so I can't tell you 
where to use it exactly, but ftp uses the same scheme.)
When sshd reads it's config, it reads
/home/chroot/./
and interprets it like
chroot /home/chroot/
