This might be part of the problem.  The chroot tells Apache that its root
directory is /usr/home/foo.  Then, when the CGI part of MV is run, it has
that environment (I think), so when it looks for the socket, it is looking
for /usr/home/foo/mvend/etc/socket, not /mvend/etc/socket.

I am not sure this is right, but I have shot myself in the foot this way
with other things in the past.  You might want to see what another CGI
says its current directory is.  

Best,
