Have you tried checking your log file to see named's error messages?

I notice you don't have a $TTL directive in the zone file.  BIND 8 was
permissive about this (it would revert to the old behavior of using the SOA
Minimum field as the default TTL), but I think BIND 9 requires it if you
don't have explicit TTLs on every record.
