Bind 9.2.4 zone transfer problem

	Really?  If named is reporting permission denied then this
	is what the OS is reporting to named and you havn't given
	named write permission to "everything".  You need to check
	directory permissions and ownership.  How the file system
	is mounted.  You need to remember that when running as root
	named does *not* have the ability to override file permissions
	as that has been turn off (Linux only).

	Mind you I don't know how you expect anyone to give you anything
	other than speculation when you don't supply the error messages
	being returned.
