This NS record is wrong. It means that there should be a new zone for
www.mynetstore.net. Any other records for www.mynetstore.net must be in
that new zone file, so the A record above it is ignored. Your log should
have a message saying that the record is being ignored because it's outside
the zone.
When your secondary server, opal.nbnet.nb.ca, transfers the mynetstore.net
zone, the ignored A record will not be included.
Get rid of the unnecessary NS record. Also, you should add:
@ IN NS opal.nbnet.nb.ca.

I can't explain why it works in this other zone, since it's set up the
same, wrong way.
