there are 2 nice tools with bind 9, named-checkzone and
named-checkconf, they use the same parses as named itself.
run the former on everyone of your zone files. if it says anything
but "OK", you have a problem with your zone file, and it might not be
loaded.
also, get bind 9.1.3 (from rawhide, otherwise i have the RPMS
somewhere).

check your rndc setup, does your named.conf have a controls line?

check the controls line. and the default-server in rndc.conf. eg:
controls {
inet * port 953 allow { "home-net"; localhost; } keys { ndckey; };
};
