Hmmm. You're right.  I get:

[error] No SOA record present, or active, in zone 'remote.local'.

I have an SOA record, but I obviously have something wrong with it.

I'm using the PowerAdmin web interface, and in the hostmaster email 
address it's replacing the @ with a .
Could that have something to do with it?
