"can't find bounty.org: Non-existent host/domain"

Good day:
I am experiencing a problem with BIND 8<mumble> running on an OpenBSD box. I suspect that it is in my zone file, as I am not a DNS Guru.
The set-up is this, I have a box at the bottom of a really narrow pipe running BIND in a "shadow" or "hidden" primary configuration. Concentric, or rather "XO Communications" is acting at the visible primary for my domain (bounty.org).
If one does a lookup for "www.bounty.org", one gets the appropriate ip (it's a cname to lists.bounty.org). If one is sending mail to petro at bounty.org, it gets delivered (indicating to me that the MX record is working properly). However if one just does a lookup on "bounty.org" using (the now deprecated, I understand) nslookup one gets "can't find bounty.org: Non-existent host/domain". If one uses dig, you get:
; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> bounty.org

Which I suspect has some mistakes in it.
(Oh, and notice the serial number is off, which could just be a timing issue.)
I appreciate any information you can provide concerning this.
