Where does the documentation say that? In 
Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained it says

   Another interesting possibility gives :Chained('.'), which chains
   itself to an action with the path of the current controller's
   namespace.

and then shows two actions for two different controllers. You only have 
one controller.

Try something like this:

   package MyApp::Controller::Foo;
   use strict;
   use base 'Catalyst::Controller';

   # is chained to
   sub bar : Chained CaptureArgs(0) { }

   1;

and

   package MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar;
   use strict;
   use base 'Catalyst::Controller';

   # chains to /foo/bar, like this controllers namespace
   sub baz : Chained('.') { }

   1;

Although, this is untested, of course. But you can always take a look at 
the Chained tests.
