With that setup, you don't mount the whole file. You mount its
partitions (which apparently you already do).
So for example if your domU root is on xvda1, and you use losetup and
kpartx to make it available as /dev/mapper/loop0p1, and you already
mount it on /mnt, you simply have to run "chroot /mnt"

Other setups require you to mount the whole file, or use LVM, but from
what you describe you don't need those.
