you can't have an MX record pointing to a CNAME
you should probably use as few CNAMES as possible.
the reason you're getting the second error is simply due to the first
error - it has nothing to do with the serial number (as long as you're
incrementing the serial number each time.
i'd do it like this:
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA partha.master.com. root.master.com. (
2001011800 ; serial
14400 ; refresh
3600 ; retry
2419200 ; expire
86400) ; minimum
IN A 192.168.0.1
IN NS partha.master.com.
IN NS try.to.get.a.secondary.nameserver.
IN MX 0 mail.master.com.
mail IN A 192.168.0.1
partha IN A 192.168.0.1
ftp IN A 192.168.0.1
pop IN A 192.168.0.1
www IN A 192.168.0.1
etc., etc.
