Err, no. Putting the "-f" at the end of the command line creates a link
with a filename of "-f"! (Sorry.)
Except for one or two rare exceptions, options must always come right after
the command name itself. So the correct command line would be:
ln -f /etc/resolve.conf /chroot/.../etc/resolv.conf

I'm not running Ubuntu (or any Debian distribution), so I can't help with
the specifics. But on my SUSE 10.0 laptop, there are network configuration
files under /etc/sysconfig/network, one for each interface. Because of the
way the scripts are written, I can create a subdirectory there by the name
"ifservices-IFNAME" (using "eth0" or "wlan0" for the IFNAME) and the
scripts inside there are executed when the interface changes state. This
is perfect for what you want to do.
Create a script with one line:
cp /etc/resolv.conf /chroot/.../resolv.conf
and put the script into the above directory. Name it anything you want.
The script will be executed whenever the interface starts or stops (and at
other times), but copying the file will never hurt, so this works...
Note that this is executed when the interface is manipulated on the 64-bit
side of the house, which is exactly when you want it run.
HTH.
