Firstly you don't sign keys or files, you sign RRsets or zones.

'-x' will tell the signer to the DNSKEY RRset only using KSK's.

Secondly don't over specify the command line.

'dnssec-signzone -x -o domain-name master-file'

is enough in most cases.  dnssec-signzone will look at the DNSKEY
records in the master-file and workout what is needed. 

The options are there for when you want dnssec-signzone to do
something non-standard.
