Sorry, my mistake in copying. The file and type are both there.
thecreek.com's file is pz/thecreek.com and for coldwaterinc.com it is a
master.

Hrm, no, but the error is literally that:
Default Server:  spt-02-wins.thecreek.com
Address:  10.1.0.102

> server 127.0.0.1
Default Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

Non-authoritative answer:
thecreek.com    preference = 20, mail exchanger = ns.thecreek.com
thecreek.com    preference = 10, mail exchanger = ns2.thecreek.com

Authoritative answers can be found from:
ns.thecreek.com internet address = 206.25.23.1
ns2.thecreek.com        internet address = 206.153.245.13
> pkb.thecreek.com
Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

*** localhost can't find pkb.thecreek.com: Server failed


OK, stupid idiot me. I had # instead of $ in front of several includes, but
now I'm getting 

*** localhost can't find pkb.thecreek.com: Non-existent host/domain

So, what's wrong with this line?

$INCLUDE inc/mx.inc pkb

If I put the data from mx.inc directly into the file, everything is hunky
dory.

Here's mx.inc:

IN	MX	10 ns2.thecreek.com.
IN	MX	20 ns.thecreek.com.

inc/ns-external.inc
        IN      NS      ns2.thecreek.com.
        IN      NS      ns.thecreek.com.
