No idea why it gives that message.  But your SOA statement must have
SEVEN items in its definition, and you only have SIX.
	(real) master server
	your e-mail address
	serial number - I would advise 2001021501, in case you need to
	make more than one change a day
	refresh
	retry
	expire
	negative TTL

You are missing the "refresh" time.

If this doesn't fix it, I wonder whether you are missing a terminal NL?
But surely BIND 9 should be able to compensate for that?

If this is an error in the error message, please let bind9-bugs at isc.org
know.
