I don't think the controls-clause is allowed in the rndc.conf. It it 
supposed to be in the named.conf file.

You do need to give a server-clause instead, like:

server "127.0.0.1" {
    key "rndc_key";
};

So, leave in the key and options clauses, add the server-clause and put the 
controls-clause into named.conf instead.
