Forward zone files not working on Bind 9.3.6-P1 for Solaris and OpenSolaris??

Hi,

I'm not sure if there is a syntax error or if I've missed to include 
something but for some reason my forward zone files don't seem to be 
working :-(

I pulled the skeleton of the files straight off my working Solaris 9 
boxes which use Bind 9 from Blastwave! I checked and double checked the 
paths in named.conf as Blastwave has all it's files stored in 
/opt/csw/.... and /etc/opt/csw... directories; while with native Sol10 
and OpenSol Bind I can use /etc and /var/named respectively.

The zone files 'domain' are just so that I can use the Sun Secure Global 
Desktop software in a test platform which is why I have decided to 
allocated the FQDN of sgd.test.

These are the zone files:

{Forward}

;
; BIND data file for example.com
;
$TTL    1d
@       IN      SOA     ns-m.test.  mail.test. (
                           2009103007         ; Serial
                                       7200         ; Refresh
                                         120         ; Retry
                                 2419200         ; Expire
                                     86400)        ; Default TTL
                                                        ;
                                    IN      NS      ns-m.test.
ns-m.test.                      IN      A       192.168.2.24
sgd.test.                        IN      A       192.168.2.24

{Reverse}

$TTL 1d ;
$ORIGIN 2.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA.
@       IN      SOA     ns-m.test.  mail.test. (
                                      2009103002
                                      7200
                                      120
                                      2419200
                                      86400
)

       IN      NS      ns-m.test.
24      IN      PTR     ns-m.test.
24      IN      PTR     sgd.test.

This is the error I receive from OpenSol:

Oct 30 13:24:11 sgd named[2025]: [ID 873579 daemon.notice] starting BIND 
9.3.6-P1
Oct 30 13:24:11 sgd named[2025]: [ID 873579 daemon.notice] command 
channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953

Oct 30 13:24:11 sgd named[2025]: [ID 873579 daemon.notice] running

Also the same error for Sol10:

Oct 30 13:43:31 sgd named[1857]: [ID 873579 daemon.notice] starting BIND 
9.3.6-P1
Oct 30 13:43:31 sgd named[1857]: [ID 873579 daemon.notice] command

Oct 30 13:43:31 sgd named[1857]: [ID 873579 daemon.notice] running

Reverse lookups are all perfectly ok!!

What am I missing here???

In Debian Etch ages ago I had to include the statement:

test.        IN      NS      ns-m.test.

but of course with this version of Bind it doesn't like it.....

I am completely lost as I've said above on my Sol9 boxes running Bind 9 
from Blastwave all is fine using exact same syntax in zone files so why 
don't my forward zone files work now???

Many thanks for any help!
