You get errors like that if you aren't running as the named user. When starting
from the command line, you need to add the '-u named' option. Can't give you
much more, though. Have you tried:

# /etc/init.d/named zap
# /etc/init.d/named start

Sometimes my named has crashed on me, and the PID file that the init.d subsystem
uses thinks it's still alive. The zap argument tells this subsystem that 
named has been 'stopped' manually.

Hope this helps,
Brian
