You didn't say what versions of FreeBSD or bind you are running. But here is what I have running . . .

named.conf syntax can be fussy.  Here is how I have mine setup:
====================
Master
running the ip 192.168.1.40
zone "foo.net" {
        type master;
        file "m/foo.net";
        allow-transfer { 192.168.1.50; 200.200.200.200; };
};

Slave
running the ip of either 192.168.1.50 or 200.200.200.200
zone "foo.net" {
        type slave;
        file "s/foo.net.bak";
        masters { 192.168.1.40; };
};

====================

On your server be sure to do:
ps -ax|grep name

and see the named commandline. You may not have the correct named.conf being used, or the wrong user. You may need to adjust or add options to your rc.conf file. If you are running as the wrong user, or within a jail you didn't setup is often the case for permission issues.

Be sure your paths to the files are correct. I use relative paths in my named.conf files.

I just set up one of my servers as a secondary dns. I put the proper ip
address in the master zones allow transfers. The master is working properly
because the other secondary (afraid.org) is able to x-fer. However I'm
getting a lot of these messages on my secondary:

Dec 21 00:44:51 stargate named[43710]: transfer of 'bar.info/IN' from
24.237.XXX.XX#53: failed while receiving responses: permission denied

In my slave named config I have:

zone "foo.com" {
        type slave;
        masters {
                24.237.XXX.XX;
                };
        file "/etc/namedb/foo.com.hosts";
        };
zone "bar.com" {
        type slave;
        masters {
                24.237.XXX.XX;
                };
        file "/etc/namedb/bar.com.hosts";
        };

On my master named.conf I have:

zone "foo.com" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/namedb/foo.com.hosts";
        allow-transfer {
                202.157.185.115;
                202.157.182.142;
                66.252.1.255;
                65.74.XXX.XX;
                };
        also-notify {
                65.74.103.XXX.XX;
                };
        };
zone "bar.com" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/namedb/bar.com.hosts";
        allow-transfer {
                202.157.185.115;
                202.157.182.142;
                66.252.1.255;
                65.74.XXX.XX;
                };
        also-notify {
                65.74.XXX.XX;
                };
        };


I tried playing with file permissions, but it doesn't help. Does anyone have a
suggestion?
