  The text within the parentheses was meant as literal text,  the chroot
command is executed rightward of the pipe.  I could just as well write

    echo 'export PS1="You have chrooted into '$HOST' from $PS1"; exec <dev/tty' | exec chroot $ROOT /bin/bash -i

No dollars necessary.

                                                              Sincerely,

                                                                 Bas
