Bizare named errors...

I'm in process of setting up a new secondary DNS server and coming accross some strangeness. I have all the trust relationship stuff up and working - the problem is that named won't start. This is the error message I get:

[email protected] [/etc/init.d]# ./named start

It seems to be choking on the configuration file itself. Particularly the &master& entries in the file.

Anyone have any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks - Brian
