I run a chroot environment

Not that I am aware of.  If you know of a distro that does this let us know.   
A chroot'ed bind has no knowledge of anything outside of it's chroot 
environment so the files have to exist there.

And they do not with the init script either.  The init script is shutting down 
bind and then reloading it again which forces a fresh read of all the files, 
as rndc is just telling bind to re-read the zone.
