Nothing, it should be created for you.

On my DC /var/lib/samba/bind-dns contains this:

dns  dns.keytab  named.conf  named.conf.update    named.txt

The 'dns' dir contains:

sam.ldb  sam.ldb.d

The 'sam.ldb.d' dir contains:

'CN=CONFIGURATION,DC=SAMDOM,DC=EXAMPLE,DC=COM.ldb'
'CN=SCHEMA,CN=CONFIGURATION,DC=SAMDOM,DC=EXAMPLE,DC=COM.ldb'
'DC=DOMAINDNSZONES,DC=SAMDOM,DC=EXAMPLE,DC=COM.ldb'
'DC=FORESTDNSZONES,DC=SAMDOM,DC=EXAMPLE,DC=COM.ldb'
'DC=SAMDOM,DC=EXAMPLE,DC=COM.ldb'
  metadata.tdb

Yes, but was it the correct line, I only ask because everything used to 
be in the private dir.

Once everything is correct, then yes.

something along those lines.
