	Why are you creating a secondary zone file?  That is named's
	job.

	What you are seeing is named complaining about the zone
	file you created and it moves it sideways.  It reports that
	it is doing this so there is some link between the existing
	file name and the name that it makes up so that it can be
	analysed.  It will also move any journal that exist.
