Thanks Maestr0 for the suggestion. I tried this, but for some reason I had to specify the full path where my rpms were located.

ex. rpm -ivh --root=/jail /var/lib/rpm/rpm-*.*.rpm

I don't think this really matters but after I ran this it appeared to install. However, when I go into the chrooted environment, I cannot run the rpm or up2date commands.

Before I installed the rpm's, I cleaned up what I had done at that point (I removed the files that I listed in my previous post) assuming that the installation of these packages would recreate them.

Do you think I should place the files back into the chrooted environment, and then re-run the rpm installations?

Thanks in advance!
