I'm not sure that you have sent all the relevant information.  There
may be something missing.

Do you have NS records in your local zone files?  These should name the
same name servers as in the parent domain's delegation records.

Do you have any records in your 'syslog' output after the domain is
loaded, when you start getting the "non-authoritative" messages?
