Well, I was going to say that it might not be in the path, since
mock-helper doesn't inherit a path, but /usr/sbin is in that path and
that's usually where useradd is found.

After a failure, try running :

mock -r fedora-6-i386-core --no-clean shell

and poke around in the chroot. Is useradd actually there?
