I think this is a chroot related problem.  I also have this message in my
syslog on two DNS systems... the only things in common between my two
systems where that I used the same 'howto' (Chrooting BIND) and the same
version of BIND... 8.2.3-Rel.  Since it also happens in 8.2.2-p?, I would
bet $$$ that Brian and I used the same Howto.  In my chrooted systems, I
have also noticed problems with the local timezone... even though I copied
it into my chroot jail, as directed... yet the logs still come out 5 hours
off.

I would imagine alot of folks have this 'permission denied' problem and
hardy notice it, as it isn't readily apparent.
