Back in November 2011 us developers decided to remove the --rootdir option for now *because nobody was actually using it* and rework it later on. While I don't (in general want to) advocate using older versions you could use 1.3.8 and decide what to do based on your findings. Do let me know if you find something interesting that isn't covered in the FAQ or false positives you find by the solution for by searching the rkhunter-users mailing list archives.
