I had to do:

Nameserver Setup <==== I ran this again and it started working!!!

Very wierd.

When the cPanel updates went agian and I had to the following above agian.

Plus on top of that this another strange thing that happen.

It was this 2 days ago
WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.8.2-C467
Fedora i686 - WHM X v3.1.0

Now it is this
WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.9.0-C4
Fedora i686 - WHM X v3.1.0

Is there a bug going around to cause named to fail?

How do I fix this?

It looks like that named not can open rndc.key (permission denied).

Do ls -l /etc/rndc.key and let here now what the output is.
