I reread your earlier post and noticed something I missed earlier, do
you normally use red-hat ?
I ask this because you have this line in /etc/bind/named.conf:

include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";

Followed by:
# Global Configuration Options
options {
.........
......



If this is all in the one file (ala red-hat), then this is your
problem, debian splits up Bind9 into separate conf files and you will
have two 'options'
