The important question is: What has been changed in the meantime? Maybe 
an updated BIND package messed up your configuration?

Use the docs to verify that everything is still correct:

The dns-* accounts aren't computer accounts. Delete it again to avoid 
problems.

"samba_upgradedns" can recreates the account correctly. Please try:
