Well, I got that same error here when using an in-house 'packagized'
version of BIND 8.2.1.  It turned out that ndc was trying to create
a socket file (attributes srw-------) in a directory that the package
hadn't created.  Once I created that directory, and ndc was able to
create the socket file, everything started working as expected...

HTH...
