named-xfer errors

I keep getting these messages in my syslog:

Apr  8 21:33:40 ns1 named[31600]: Err/TO getting serial# for "dpdigital.com"
Apr  8 21:33:40 ns1 named[6447]: can't exec /usr/sbin/named-xfer: No such 
file or directory

I know why I'm getting them; I don't have a /usr/sbin/named-xfer. On the 
other hand, I *do* have /var/named/usr/sbin/named-xfer, and named is 
SUPPOSED to be running "named-xfer" with -t /var/named (which is how 
named[31600] is running:
     named    31600  <blah blah>   Mar 13   0:08 /var/named/usr/sbin/named 
-u named -g named -t /var/named
). So why when it forks for the xfer is it not passing along the chroot? Is 
it also failing to pass along the -u -g (or is this an issue since it's 
already running as named)? Or am I missing something?

This is with BIND-8.2.2-P5 on Linux.
