Note the location of the journal file. Also, I changed the named.conf:

----------------------------------------------
acl "home" { 192.168.100.0/24; 127.0.0.1;};

zone "mike-leone.com" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/mike-leone.com.hosts";
        allow-update {home; };
};

zone "100.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/192.168.100.ptrs";
        allow-update {home; };
};
----------------------------------------------

I also changed the /etc/bind directory to be chmod a+w.

Yeah, I know, I know - it's supposed to be insecure, allowing updates by
IP rather than by key. But it's a local DNS server, so I may just live
with it.
