It doesn't work like that ;-)
You should have something like this:

ls -la /usr/local/samba/private/dns
total 2956
drwxrwx--- 3 root bind     4096 Nov 23  2016 .
drwxr-sr-x 8 root staff    4096 Jul 10 16:36 ..
-rw-rw---- 1 root bind  3014656 Sep 12  2016 sam.ldb
drwxrwx--- 2 root bind     4096 Nov 23  2016 sam.ldb.d

and sam.ldb.d:

ls -la /usr/local/samba/private/dns/sam.ldb.d/
total 28060
drwxrwx--- 2 root bind    4096 Nov 23  2016 .
drwxrwx--- 3 root bind    4096 Nov 23  2016 ..
-rw-rw---- 1 root bind 8925184 Sep 12  2016 CN=CONFIGURATION,DC=SAMDOM,DC=EXAMPLE,DC=COM.ldb
-rw-rw---- 1 root bind 9187328 Sep 12  2016 CN=SCHEMA,CN=CONFIGURATION,DC=SAMDOM,DC=EXAMPLE,DC=COM.ldb
-rw-rw---- 2 root bind 4247552 Jul 10 16:32 DC=DOMAINDNSZONES,DC=SAMDOM,DC=EXAMPLE,DC=COM.ldb
-rw-rw---- 2 root bind 4247552 Jul 10 16:32 DC=FORESTDNSZONES,DC=SAMDOM,DC=EXAMPLE,DC=COM.ldb
-rw-rw---- 1 root bind 1286144 Sep 12  2016 DC=SAMDOM,DC=EXAMPLE,DC=COM.ldb
-rw-rw---- 2 root bind  831488 Jul 10 16:32 metadata.tdb

Your cow inspired dns zone should be in there, note: do note edit the
ldb files directly.

No, it is never creating it ;-)

Not sure anything is wrong in python, it has always worked for me
