Make sure your secondary zone configurations in /etc/named/conf use the slaves subdirectory whch is writable by the 'named' id which named runs as. For example:

----------------START-------------------
options {
       directory "/var/named";
};

zone "zamir-enterprises.com" IN {
    type slave;
    masters { 192.168.9.7; };
    file "slaves/zamir-enterprises.com.zone";
};

-------------- END ---------------

If you have named chrooted (/etc/sysconfig/named contains ROOTDIR=/var/named/chroot) then the actual location of the above file would be /var/named/chroot/var/named/slaves/zamir-enterprises.com.zone.
