the controls statement needs to be in your named.conf.

an example from mine (if your version of bind has rndc-confgen just use
that)

in named.conf:
controls {
        inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { samplekey; };
};
key samplekey {
         algorithm hmac-md5;
         secret "xxx";
     };

and in rndc.conf:

options {
         default-server  localhost;
         default-key     samplekey;
     };

     server localhost {
         key     "samplekey";
     };

     key samplekey {
         algorithm hmac-md5;
         secret "xxx";
     };

if you continue to have problems, make sure to send along the relevant
sections from your named.conf as well as your rndc.conf.
