Per the named.conf manpage:


     options {
       [ directory path_name; ]
     };

     path_name
       A quoted string which will be used as a pathname, such as
       "zones/master/my.test.domain".

The short form of which is "quote the path" and it will work.  Also remember
the trailing semicolon if you really don't have one in the file.
