Thanks for the suggestion, Kevin: I tried it (eventually!!) & attached is
the result...
(See attached file: dns1scr1.bmp)
I can't tell from this if it is authoritative or not: is it?

I have made some changes to the zone file, but the same error occurs:

Try doing an SOA query for 159.57.10.in-addr.arpa from the slave to the
master. Is the query successful? Is the answer authoritative?
