put

$TTL 86400

.... at the top of the zone file, this is a very FAQ. Welcome to the list.

>master zone "ceffl.com" (IN) loaded (serial 192909846)

ok

>master zone "ceffl.com" (IN) rejected due to errors (serial 190491317)

why is it loading the same zone again?  do you have one or two zone 
statements in named.conf?  Do you have one or two SOA records in the 
ceff1.com zone file?

>why is it doing this?

can´t say, without seeing your files

>The file I used for an example is already in place,
>I just edited the domain.

looks like you didn´t edit quite enough and/or correctly

>Why wouldn't it reject the other one, too?

how about showing us your named.conf and that zone file
