You are trying to use system-config-bind on Red Hat FC3, yes ?
system-config-bind-2.0.3 had many problems, and has been replaced
by system-config-bind-4.0.0 , which will shortly be submitted
to fc3-updates - it is just missing the help document and 
non-english translations at the moment .
You can get the latest version from:
  http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/system-config-bind/
This supports many new features over 2.0.3, ( and actually works ! :)
  o all RR types and named configuration objects and options are now
    supported (almost) - any that still are not are preserved - 
    there is no need for a "named.custom" file now. Shortly (within
    the next week or so) version 4.0.1 will support ALL RR types & 
    named.conf options.
  o BIND9 features such as views are fully supported
  o IPV6 & NSAP zones are fully supported 
  o There is a new 'Import' facility to import hosts files, with 
    address or name filtering and automatic creation of zones as
    required.
  o Automatic creation of PTR records when creating an A or AAAA record
    and of A/AAAA when creating a PTR (can be disabled / enabled)
  o There are full featured GUIs for editing ACLs, key generation,
    and Logging configuration
  o Formatting and comments in pre-existing named.conf and zone files
    are preserved on writes
  o Server start / stop / restart / reload can be controlled from GUI
  o named-checkconf is used to ensure that no invalid configuration
    files are ever written to the active named configuration files.
This tool is in pure Python, and so can be used on any system with
Python 2.2+ . At the moment, it still has a dependency on the Red Hat
python module "rhpl" - to use on non Red Hat systems, unpack the 
'rhpl.tar' file, containing only .py files, in 
     /usr/lib/python2.${PYREL}/
This dependancy will be removed in 4.0.1 .
