Windows Vista and Windows 2008 maps system32 filenames to a different
location that I can't remember off the top of my head.

I would uninstall named and then re-install it in "C:\Program Files\ISC\BIND9"
or similar to avoid the mapping.  The location of the configuration files
are stored in the registry so everything should work if you do this.
