First, I would check to see who owns the named.pid file. Sounds like you
are logged in as root and when you start it with no -u flag, there is no
issue. This may be because root is the only one with write access on the
file.

This one has to do with configuring rndc keys (as far as I know). I began
this process of doing this, but gave up when I ran out of time. BIND will
continue to run normally, but you will not be able to use the rndc
controls for it. (At least I cant). There are many docs on configuring
this in google.

Extract the conf files from 9 source, input your info manually and see if
that clears up these issues.
