Yeah, that set me going in the right direction. Thanks. In fact I had to 
remove /var/run/named which was a link to a directory, /var/run/named 
which didn't exist. I stopped named, did a mkdir /var/run/named and 
restarted named. Now I can see /var/run/named/named.pid correctly and 
the error has gone.

Yes, that seems to explain it. I have
  listen-on-v6 { any; };
in /etc/named.conf

I think that this should be commented (#) as I don't have any ip6 addresses.
