Did you check the following:
1. Your zone files to confirm that your target DNS are precisely correct.
2. Your /etc/resolve.conf points to these DNS and nothing more and nothing less.
3. Your rndc.conf and rndc.key are in the right place. They may not always be in /etc/. They maybe in other directory like,
/var/named/chroot/etc
if you are running change-rooted DNS, etc. and depending on your named.conf.

Oscar,
no, not until now I was using RedHat's ReferenceGuide/s1-bind-rndc.html
well, using the docs you pointed out, it does tell me that the file is not required, but, I'm still not getting past 'connect failed: connection refused'
obviously, I'm still missing something:
named.conf includes:
..... controls { inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { sbt.net.au; }; };
include "/etc/rndc.key"; .....
rndc.key has:
key "sbt.net.au" { algorithm hmac-md5; secret "stuff removed"; };
rndc.conf has:
options { default-server localhost; default-key "sbt.net.au"; };
server localhost { key "sbt.net.au"; };
key "sbt.net.au" { algorithm hmac-md5; secret "stuff removed"; };
but, all I get is:
# rndc status rndc: connect failed: connection refused
