Do you have pseudoterminal devices in your  /var/run/stunnel/dev/ directory?

Do you really have /var/run/stunnel/usr/sbin/pppd (and shared libraries and 
configuration files and other files/devices needed by pppd)?

Are you sure your pppd will work when started as user nobody?

Using chroot with exec is not trivial.  Please make sure you know what 
your're trying to do.  8-)
