It looks like you've not set up your internal root zone correctly.
The name server is complaining that it can't find a root server. The
reason for that is there's probably no A records (glue) for the NS
records you've announced for the root zone. Add A records for
svr006.tcs.treas.gov and svr015.tcs.treas.gov to your internal root
zone, assuming these are the names of your internal root servers given
by your root zone's NS records.

Also, make sure your internal root servers are master or slave for the
root zone. Master is preferable as root zones tend to require special
administration rather than routine reloading and zone transfers. Your
root servers should not have a zone{} statement of type hint for ".".

If you're still stuck, post your root zone file, as-is: no pretty
printing or stupid mail user agent reformatting.
