db-XXvsaWpx files instead of my /etc/named.conf name for forward files (i.e., forward)

	Named will move it's cache files sideways if it detects a
	error in them when it goes to read them.  This is common
	if you are upgrading from a older BIND 8.  BIND 8 and BIND
	9 process master files without explicit TTL values differently
	and depending upon what named-xfer wrote BIND 9 may reject
	the what named-xfer wrote.  This is not a problem as BIND 9
	will just transfer the zone again and write the master file
	in a form that it likes.

	As for why the zones are not transfering you should look at
	your log files on both the slave and master machines.
