ls up to both directories to make sure you have it right.
i.e.
ls /mnt
ls /mnt/cdrom
ls /mnt/cdrom/snapshots
and make sure it A) doesn't fail and B) shows what you're expecting (the last one shoud list portage-20041022.tar.bz2)
same with the other folder.

I believe you are supposed to untar the portage snapshot BEFORE doing the chroot command... right now it sees nothing mounted on /mnt/cdrom so it says the file is not there... you are going to have to type "exit" to exit your chroot jail and THEN extract the archive, if that made any sense.
