I take it you have installed a compatible version of bind9, it is set
up correctly and it isn't running.

After it prints 'Reading domain information' the script gets info by
reading smb.conf etc, it then goes on to check a few things before
(normally) printing 'DNS accounts already exist'

So as you don't get the last message, it seems likely the problem lies
in the block of code between the messages.

Can you post the smb.conf from the DC you are trying to upgrade
What version of bind are you using ?
can you also post your Bind conf files
