I believe you need an @ at the beginning of the line:
@               IN MX   10 mail.beccel.com.
(Someone correct me if that's unnecessary.)

localhost.beccel.com.    IN A    127.0.0.1
mail.beccel.com.         IN A    216.158.41.227
ns2.beccel.com.          IN A    216.158.41.228

Otherwise, BIND will think, for example, that you are talking about hosts 
localhost.beccel.com.beccel.com, mail.beccel.com.beccel.com, and
ns2.beccel.com.beccel.com.

Probably once you correct the above, these will work.
