You should really add the --zone-name=example.com option to the 
'zone2sql' command line, since you obviously don't have $ORIGIN lines in 
the zonefile.

You don't have the domain name in the name column for any of those,

See my note above.

Set 'logging-facility=N' where N is from 0 to 5, and configure syslogd 
to log the localN facility to /var/log/pdns.log.
