One option could be to move all the secondary zone files away/delete them, 
and then restart the nameserver-process. It should then re-fetch the 
zonefiles it has in its configuration-file and re-populate the directory 
with those files.

Of course this might not be the best solution in all cases, if you have 
mixed secondary zonefiles and master zonefiles on the same nameserver and 
in the same directory. But if you have for example one directory for master 
zonefiles and another for secondary zonefiles it should be easy.
