I'm getting an error in my log files stating...

"master zone whatever.com" (IN) rejected due to errors (serial 27)

...this is the zone file:

$TTL 3600
@	IN	SOA  ournameserver.somedomain.com. techsupport.somedomain.com. (
			27          ; serial number
			3600        ; refresh
			600         ; retry
			604800      ; expire
			3600      ) ; minimum TTL
@			IN	NS	ournamserver.somedomain.com.
@			IN	NS	ournameserver2.somedomain.com.
@			IN	CNAME	www.somedomainname.com.
*			IN	CNAME	www.somedomainname.com.


What's odd is that the CNAME forwarding works just fine.  The server does
NOT report back as authoritative for the domain though.  Anyone know why
this is happening?

According to the bind common errors list at
www.acmebw.com/askmrdns/bind-messages.htm this would indicate a syntax
error.  I checked the zone files for strange invisible characters, but
everything seems fine.  Am I not seeing some blaring syntax error here?

The entry in the named.conf is:

zone "somedomain.net" in {
  type master;
  file "master/somedomain.net.dns";
};
