well, that advice turned out to be embarassingly simple!!  thank you so
much, i cant believe i ignored that slave directory all this time!  i
didnt change the named_program yet, i think im going to go back and take a
look at the 'replace' option in the port again, and see how that behaves. 
however, with just the 'slave' folder change, my zone transfered on the
first startup.

thanks again, and cheers!
