The expected behavior is, the first time you start BIND with managed-keys
configured in a view, it will try to load the keys from an existing
managed-keys file.  If the file isn't found, it logs this warning,
and then if the directory is writable, it goes ahead and creates the file.

So you should only be seeing this the first time, and not thereafter.
Which is why I'm concerned about this:

BIND hasn't created the file yet?  Is your working directory or
managed-keys-directory writable?
