Make sure that the directory "logs" under your chroot environment is 
writable and accessible by the user your named is running as. chown and 
chmod may be used for that.

Just to make sure that directory is created first.

So if you are using "-t /chroot/named -u named" then do something like:

cd /chroot/named
mkdir logs
chown named logs
chmod u=rwx,go=rx logs
