This works...
# wget http://download.openvz.org/utils/vzctl/3.0.23/src/vzctl-3.0.23-1.src.rpm
# rpm -i vzctl-3.0.23-1.src.rpm
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
# tar xvjf vzctl-3.0.23.tar.bz2
# cd vzctl-3.0.23
# ./configure --enable-bashcomp --enable-logrotate
# make
# make install
The above complile from sources placed new utils in /usr/local.
And viola...now it works! Why is the question? More rudimentary investigating...

So on my server set of new CentOS 5.3 x86_64 servers with yum installed OpenVZ kernel:
2.6.18-128.2.1.el5.028stab064.7
I had this thread's problem.
Summary: Had to compile from source to get chkpnt to work.
