  Do they happen to exist in /var/named/cache
  ? Do the accounts associated with these zones exist?

  If you remove them from /var/named/parse_cache (by moving them) do you continue to experience the same issue? What we usually do is create a directory somewhere else for items we've moved. For example: mkdir /root/dnszones_old mv /var/named/parse_cache/domain.tld.db /root/dnszones_old/
