         Put the key definition before the usage.  Also algorithm was mispelled
as alogorithm.
Thus:

In rndc.conf:

key "rndc_key" {
     algorithm hmac-md5;
     secret "BivytJga3nHJ2GR4GLH00A==";
};
options {
     default-server  localhost;
     default-key     "rndc_key";
};

server localhost {
     key     "rndc_key";
};

In named.conf:
key "rndc_key" {
algorithm      hmac-md5;
secret "BivytJga3nHJ2GR4GLH00A==";
};
controls {
  inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys (rndc_key; };
}

         I remember reading somewhere in this mailing list that there was a
problem with ordering and it was necessary to define it before usage.
