You seem to be preoccupied with file permissions problems; have you been 
burnt by those recently?

SERVFAIL is a very generic error. It suggests that the zone failed to 
load, but doesn't give any more details than that. I would recommend 
running the named-checkzone utility on the zone file to more preceisely 
identify any syntax problems. Since this problem started after an 
upgrade, make sure you run the matching version of named-checkzone.

I don't see why that would be necessary. Are you having problems using 
rndc also?
