This has been resolved. It turns out that after installing the OS2 update,
the named user account writes these zone records instead of root. Upon
further inspection, /etc/named was owned by root, therefore not allowing any
creation or modification of files by named.

chown named /etc/named did the trick.

Thanks to Dan and everyone else for your suggestions!
