rndc.key problems

Greetings,
I've built and installed BIND 9.2.3 replacing my old 9.1.3 installation,
and I'm having an issue with my rndc.key that I can't figure out.
When I run rndc status (or any other rndc command) I get:
./rndc status
rndc: error: /usr/local/bind-9.2.3//etc/rndc.key:2: unknown option
'options'
rndc: could not load rndc configuration
My rndc.key is the 'stock' key generated by rndc-confgen.
I installed the commented out section from the bottom of my rndc-confgen
into my named.conf file and I get not errors at startup of named.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The contents of my rndc.key is as
follows (with my 'secret' key changed.)
# Start of rndc.conf
key "rndc-key" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "thisisnotmyrealkey";
};
options {
default-key "rndc-key";
default-server 127.0.0.1;
default-port 953;
};
# End of rndc.conf
Any hints or suggestions appreciated.
