I don't think it's a good idea to give bind write access to /etc/bind IMHO. If you read /usr/share/doc/bind/bind9/README.Debian.gz you'll find that default install use /var/cache/bind as working directory and saves slave zones there. I think you've changed directory setting under "options" section of named.conf. Set directory to "/var/cache/bind" and use full path names for master zones, and relative for slave zones.
