This can happen if the master system isn't allowing the transfer, or the slave is unable to contact it.

Check the log file /var/log/messages on both systems when you try forcing a transfer on the slave, at Webmin -> Servers -> BIND DNS Server -> your zone -> Apply Zone.

That looks like it is from the slave ... do you see any errors on the master?

Taking a look now ..

What is interesting is that zone transfers are actually working and your secondary server is able to answer for domains like nytebytes.com . However, for some reason it isn't saving records to a file.

Did you make any custom config changes to BIND on the slave after installing it?

Apparently a BIND re-install has fixed this.
