If named is in fact compiled to look for named.conf in /usr/local/etc
(you can verify this by running "strings named | grep named.conf),
and you're also chroot()ing to /usr/local/etc, the path it ends up
trying to open is /usr/local/etc/usr/local/etc/named.conf.  Try
running "named -t /usr/local/etc -c /named.conf"
