chdir is getting the best of me

Having an issue with chdir.  Tried to minimize the code as much as I could here.  What I'm trying to do:

- get input from user
- chdir to the directory referenced by the user's input

It's giving me a -1 all the time.  I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, perhaps you can help me figure it out?

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <time.h>

int strinit(char *s1, int len);

int main(int nArg, char* pszArgs[])
{
  char userinput[256];
  strinit(userinput,sizeof(userinput));
 
  int i,j,k;
  printf("Directory: ");
  fgets(userinput,sizeof(userinput),stdin);
  printf("Attempting to chdir to %s\n",userinput);

  i=0;
  i=chdir(userinput);
  printf("Returned: %d\n",i);
  return 0;
}

int strinit(char *s1, int len)
{
  int i;
  for (i=0; i<len; i++) {
    s1[i]=0;
  }
  return 0;
}

Here's what I get on the output:
