When I rsynced all my backed up zone files, I then had to chown in 
/var/named.

Well, I set /var/named/data to root:named, this made named create

/var/named/data/named.run as root:named, which then named could not 
write to!

did a chown to named:named, rm the bad named.run, restarted named, and 
all is working.

They get you every time.

Thanks for the help.
