I was able to run named-checkzone (from BIND 9.2.2rc1) just fine on that
zone file, once I cleaned it up a little, i.e. moving the open
parenthesis to the first line of the SOA RR, and putting some whitespace
at the front of the NS RR.

Did your mailer mess up the presentation of your zonefile like that, or
are those its actual contents?

You might also want to delete the .jnl file, since apparently that's
confusing named-checkzone.
