notify failed

I have two name servers, both running 9.1.2 and redhat 7.1. They are in a
master/slave configuration. My problem is that if I update the master the
slave will not accept the updates. if I delete the file in the slave it can
successfully pull down a new copy but if I simply modify the master it is
not updated. Included is a section of /var/log/messages.

Jun 21 17:30:28 ns2 /usr/local/sbin/named[2815]: refresh_callback: zone
craigmichaelaven.com/IN: failure for 216.143.228.100#53: ti$
Jun 21 17:31:35 ns2 /usr/local/sbin/named[2815]: transfer of
'iwanttoquitsmoking.com' from 216.143.228.100#53: end of transfer
Jun 21 17:31:39 ns2 /usr/local/sbin/named[2815]: notify failed: not
authoritative for notify zone (REFUSED)

I researched the top error message but I was authoritative. I don't know
whether that is related or not (betting on yes)
dig @localhost returned an aa flag for that zone.

Also this is the relevant section of named.conf on the master.
zone "iwanttoquitsmoking.com"{
        type master;
        file "db.iwanttoquitsmoking_com";
        allow-transfer {
                216.143.228.101;
        };
};
And this is the same for the slave.
zone "iwanttoquitsmoking.com"{
        type slave;
        file "db.iwanttoquitsmoking_com";
        masters{
                216.143.228.100;
        };
};

I looked in the bv9arm but could not figure out what I'm missing. Any ideas
would be appreciated.
