Jim:

It looks like the telco has not yet "delegated" the IP range to you.  
Please see THIS URL:

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ptr.ch?ip=64.114.58.2

for a more complete reason...

Also, please see this URL for a 'general' report:

http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=qcislands.net

There is a nameserver "missing" (the SOA record says that
auth.qcislands.net is the master server but that server is not listed
at the parent servers as one of your NS records.

There is also a name server that does not respond:  209.53.238.3

Your zone is not yet delegated from ns2.fibercloud.com.  (See the
www.dnsstuff.com URL...)

Hope this helps.
