The serial number in the above is 3 -- the serial in the other examples was 10…

So, BIND is not picking up the changes you've made since #3…

If you run named-checkzone <zonename>  <filename>

does it give any errors? 

Does rndc work? 
If you run rndc reload <zone> does it fix things? Is there anything logged about not being able to read the file? or syntax errors?
If you restart BIND ?

I had no shoes and wept.  Then I met a man who had no feet.  So I said, "Hey man, got any shoes you're not using?"
