Some progress: I deleted the lines you suggested from named.conf and I removed 
the rndc.key from /etc, then created a symlink in /etc to the rndc.key file 
in /var/named/chroot/etc

Now, I get the following when I restart named:

[root@viewridgeproductions2 ~]# service named restart
Stopping named:                                            [FAILED]
Starting named:                                            [  OK  ]
[root@viewridgeproductions2 ~]#  

It can't stop the service, but it can start it now...
This hasn't cured the original problem which started this whole thread, but, 
fixing broken things, even if only partially, is good ;-)
