You don't have AXFR transfer access on that particular server.  If it
is under your control, check the allow-transfer within the options
stance within your named.conf.

Add something like:
options {
        allow-transfer {
		10.10.10.10/24; // Put the IP address of your workstation here
	};
};

Remember to run a rndc reconfig after the change.
