Please turn off the HTML in email. Thanks

The problem may be that named.conf has file assignments to directories
owned by root, where it cannot create them. Make sure that if named
has to write to them (including create them), they point to one of the
data directories, e.g.:

options {
    directory "/var/named";
    dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
    statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";

This is especially important for slaves, which get zone transfers from
the master(s):

options {
    directory "/var/named/slaves";
    dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
    statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";


Note that these point to the chrooted diretories, so they are actually
below /var/named/chroot.
