Based on your comment above that you are using -b - that is almost certainly the cause of this issue. When you use -b bitbake will print this warning:
WARNING: Buildfile specified, dependencies will not be handled. If this is not what you want, do not use -b / --buildfile.
One of the dependencies that you may be missing is the fakeroot program (pseudo). Using -b is likely preventing that from being built.
Instead of using -b, you should put the recipe into a place bitbake can find it (to test, could be meta/recipes-extended/example, but when you do it properly you should create your own layer and put it there). Then you can just build it like any other recipe:
