It seems like you still have a permissions error.<br class="">
<br class="">
Can the user that named is running as create new files in the directory where the zone is stored?<br class="">

I don't remember ever needing to manually create a journal (.jnl) file. I think that named always did it.<br class="">
<br class="">
Named will create, modify, and remove the journal file as needed. rndc freeze will sync the in memory zone contents to the journal file. rndc sync will sync the journal file to the main zone file. The -clean option to rndc sync will remove the journal file.
-- Don't forget to rndc thaw a frozen zone to start allowing dynamic updates again.<br class="">
<br class="">
Beyond that, I've not needed to worry about the journal file or it's contents.<br class="">
