In addition to what has already been suggested, I offer the following:

Do you have DNS logging enabled? What is in the dns.log file?
Is the master sending a NOTIFY to the MS slave server?
I do not have any slave zones on my MS W2k+3 DNS Server, so I have no
direct experience with this situation. On the MS DNS Server, you
specify the IP address of the master server. I do not know if the
MS slave code does any checks when a NOTIFY packet arrives other than
to insure that the packet came from the IP of the master server.
