BIND9 master/slave - ixfr fails

Hello,

I am new on BIND dns, and have installed a master (ns1 - 10.10.2.245)
and a slave (ns2 - 10.10.2.246) server - both BIND9.

On NS1 I have this in named.conf:

zone "mydomain.dk" {
        type master;
        file "data/m/mydomain.dk";
        allow-transfer { 10.10.2.246; };
};

On NS2 I have this:

zone "mydomain.dk" {
        type slave;
        file "data/m/mydomain.dk";
        masters { 10.10.2.245; };
};


On NS1, the zonefile data/m/mydomain.dk exists, but I have not created
it at NS2 - I am expecting NS2 to IXFR the zone from NS1 and store it
in data/m/mydomain.dk also. Is that not correct?

Anyway; as it is configured at this moment, it doesn't work. If I do a
nslookup on NS1, I get an answer correctly, but if I do the same on
NS2, I just get this error:

** server can't find mydomain.dk: SERVFAIL


Can anyone please help me fix this issue? Thank you.

Best Regards,
/jack
