Ok well (anyone feel free to correct me if im wrong or explaining it
incorrectly) but you do not need the full 'mail1.purpletree.biz'. 
'purpuletree.biz origin already exists at the top of the zone. 
Testing the rest of the zone makes me think the rest of it is setup
incorrectly as well.  None of the answers im getting back are
correct.  Try chainging with:

$ttl 38400
purpletree.biz.	IN	SOA	ns1.nwlinc.com.	hostmaster.nwlinc.com. (
			1005595516
			10800
			3600
			604800
			38400 )
@		IN	NS	ns1.nwlinc.com.
@		IN	NS	ns2.nwlinc.com.
www		IN	A	63.240.163.10
Qa		IN	A	63.240.163.9
Dv		IN	A	63.240.163.8
Dev		IN	A	63.240.140.235
mail2		IN	MX	20	mail.uu.net.
mail3		IN	MX	500	63.240.163.16
mail1		IN	MX	10	mail.partylite.com.

While you're testing you might think about lowering the TTL as well. 
Hope this helps.
