Haven't run into that error, myself.

Do you have the following in your /etc/named.conf file?

controls {
        inet 127.0.0.1 allow {
                localhost;
        }
         keys {
                "key";
        };
};
 
key "key" {
        algorithm hmac-md5;
        secret "<insert actual key, here";
};

The key name, "key" should actually match what's in rndc.conf, so if the 
key name is actually "mykey" in rndc.conf, you need to make sure it's 
called "mykey" in named.conf.
