You're right. It does work. I mispelled the name of the domain to
update. <sound of palm slapping forehead>

-Of course, with BIND 8's nsupdate I don't think there is any to add a

-Maybe that's what's happening in your case, combined with the fact that the
-master of the child zone may not be configured to allow Dynamic Update at
-all for the zone. If so, then you might want to look at using BIND 9's
-nsupdate, which should be compatible with a BIND 8 nameserver, and which
-has a way to explicitly tell it what zone should be updated. Caveat: I have
-not tried this, I'm only going by what's in the documentation.
