The problem is the space at the beginning of the SOA line.  If a line
starts with whitespace, it's taken to be a continuation of the previous
line.  I'm not sure what that does when it's the first line of the file,
but apparently it prevents the zone file from loading properly.

I'm quite surprised that it did this without putting anything in the log,
though.
