First of all you need to find out what the issue is.  One way to do
this is to simulate what the slave is doing. Use dig to make a ixfr
request from the slave and report what it returns to the list.  If
you are using TSIG then also specify that on the command like.

	dig ixfr=<slave-serial> zone @master
