can't exec /usr/sbin/named-xfer no such file or directory

The path should be chroot()-relative, since named is already chroot()'ed when
it tries to exec named-xfer. Are you *absolutely* sure that you have a copy of
named-xfer at {chroot()-apex}/usr/sbin/named-xfer? Do you possibly have any
symlinks anywhere along that path?
