Umm, maybe it's because it doesn't have any?

| [root at octopusmarketing pz]# cat 193.204.161.209.in-addr.arpa

~From what I can read here, there is no origin,
and unless there is such a thing as 1.193.204.209.in-addr.arpa, well, ,
I'm kinda outta my depth, but I don't five octets is gonna work.

Try this

204.161.209.in-addr.arpa
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
~ @       IN      SOA     octopusmarketing.com.    cngo.emaylme.com. (
~                         2004071901       ; Serial
~                         10800            ; Refresh
~                         21600            ; Retry
~                         604800           ; Expire
~                         86400)           ; Minimum TTL


~         IN       NS      ns.octopusmarketing.com.

$ORIGIN  204.161.209.in-addr.arpa.

~ 1       IN      PTR     mail.investimmo.ca.
~ 2       IN      PTR     mail.adjointeplus.ca.
