Whatever ID that named runs as needs to be able to *create* files in 
/var/named, so you'd need to change the permissions of /var/named 
itself. I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think if you use a subdirectory 
for your slave file, e.g. file "slave/example.com", then the temp files 
might get written into the subdirectory. That way you could open up the 
permissions on just the subdirectory without having to touch /var/named 
itself.
