I've not used DLZ, but in general the error message you see is the same
one you'd see if BIND didn't know about the zone. For example:

# rndc reload doesntexists.zone
rndc: 'reload' failed: not found
# rndc reload bohrnag.org
zone reload up-to-date
#

I did a quick search on the net, and it looks like it might also be an
issue with the permissions on the database files, depending on the user
BIND is running as?
For example,
