Just asking the obvious, but have you reconfig'ed or restarted named 
since you made the change?  The other point is that master servers don't 
send zones, the slave server requests it.  The master may send out 
notify messages to tell the slaves that a change has occured and they 
should schedule a transfer, but the responsibility lies with the slave.

I'd also normally suggest you provide the real name of the zone and the 
addresses of the server, thought it might not help in this case.
