That looks like mtree messages, so that's probably because you run named 
chrooted as per rc.conf. And this is good, /etc/namedb should not be 
writeable by the nameserver.

       dump-file       "/var/dump/named_dump.db";

under options should get rid of one.

And I suspect that in your slave zones, you don't have:
	file "slave/mydomain.net";
              ^^^^^^
but rather some file in /etc/namedb.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.
