Go back and reread what I wrote -- the problem is with FILE permissions.
So if your named.conf file contains something like:

zone "mydomain.com" {
type slave;
filename "/etc/named/slave/mydomain.com.db";
};

named is not able to write the file mydomain.com.db. Check the
permissions on the directory /etc/named/slave, and make sure that the
user that named runs as has write permission.
