in above case, the named working directory: is "/home/toit"
though the owner has write permission, try giving write permission to the group

if write permission to group of directory works in toit case, do it
for semelle also.
Use another localnet address for rndc port 953, for example 127.0.0.2.
You can specify this in controls {
  ...
};
directive.
Similarly for IPv6 address.
