You are running Fedora and bind in a chroot environment.

SELinux by default only allows named to write into Data and Slaves 
directories.

So place all your log files into 
/var/named/chroot/var/named/data

and your zone files into
/var/named/chroot/var/named/slaves

I placed also the master files into slaves so that it is the same across all 
DNS servers.
