[OpenBSD] DNS startup problem

I have the DNS files set up on my OpenBSD 4.0 amd64 system however when I run named, I get the following error in my logs:

Code:
Sep 23 10:43:03 grunty named[11608]: starting BIND 9.3.2-P1
Sep 23 10:43:03 grunty named[11608]: /etc/named.conf:25: change directory to '/var/named' failed: file not found
Sep 23 10:43:03 grunty named[11608]: /etc/named.conf:25: parsing failed
Sep 23 10:43:03 grunty named[11608]: loading configuration: file not found
Sep 23 10:43:03 grunty named[11608]: exiting (due to fatal error)

The directory "/var/named" exists:

Code:
drwxr-xr-x   7 root    named      512 Sep 23 11:06 named

And the subdirectories also exist:

Code:
# ls -la
total 28
drwxr-xr-x   7 root  named  512 Sep 23 11:06 .
drwxr-xr-x  24 root  wheel  512 Aug 12 08:47 ..
drwxrwxr-x   2 root  named  512 Sep 23 11:05 dev
drwxrwxr-x   2 root  named  512 Sep 23 11:05 etc
drwxrwxr-x   3 root  named  512 Sep 23 11:05 master
drwxrwxr-x   2 root  named  512 Sep 23 11:05 slave
drwxrwxr-x   2 root  named  512 Sep 23 11:05 standard

named.conf exists in /var/named/etc:

Code:
# ls -al
total 20
drwxrwxr-x  2 root  named   512 Sep 23 11:05 .
drwxr-xr-x  7 root  named   512 Sep 23 11:06 ..
-rw-r-----  1 root  named  1617 Sep 16  2006 named-dual.conf
-rw-r-----  1 root  named  1407 Sep 16  2006 named-simple.conf
-r--r-----  1 root  named  1973 Sep 23 09:57 named.conf
# pwd
/var/named/etc

As near as I can tell, permissions and directories are all accurate. I've tried moving the directories under /var/named/var/named in case named chroot's before reading the config file but I get the same result.

I've done some poking around on Google and the answers all seem to be "does /var/named/etc exist" and "what are the permissions". I believe I've covered those questions here.

So, any other ideas?

NAME
ipa-replica-install - Create an IPA replica SYNOPSIS
ipa-replica-install [OPTION]... replica_file DESCRIPTION
Configures a new IPA server that is a replica of the server that generated it. Once it has been created it is an exact copy of the original IPA server and is an equal master. Changes made to any master are automatically replicated to other masters. The replica_file is created using the ipa-replica-prepare utility. If the installation fails you may need to run ipa-server-install --uninstall before running ipa-replica-install again. The installation will fail if the host you are installing the replica on exists as a host in IPA or an existing replication agreement exists (for example, from a previously failed installation). A replica should only be installed on the same or higher version of IPA on the remote system. OPTIONS
BASIC OPTIONS --setup-ca Install and configure a CA on this replica. If a CA is not configured then certificate operations will be forwarded to a master with a CA installed. --ip-address=IP_ADDRESS The IP address of this server. If this address does not match the address the host resolves to and --setup-dns is not selected the installation will fail. If the server hostname is not resolvable, a record for the hostname and IP_ADDRESS is added to /etc/hosts. -p DM_PASSWORD, --password=DM_PASSWORD Directory Manager (existing master) password -w ADMIN_PASSWORD, --admin-password=ADMIN_PASSWORD Admin user Kerberos password used for connection check --mkhomedir Create home directories for users on their first login -N, --no-ntp Do not configure NTP --no-ui-redirect Do not automatically redirect to the Web UI. --ssh-trust-dns Configure OpenSSH client to trust DNS SSHFP records. --no-ssh Do not configure OpenSSH client. --no-sshd Do not configure OpenSSH server. --skip-conncheck Skip connection check to remote master -d, --debug Enable debug logging when more verbose output is needed -U, --unattended An unattended installation that will never prompt for user input CERTIFICATE SYSTEM OPTIONS --skip-schema-check Skip check for updated CA DS schema on the remote master DNS OPTIONS --setup-dns Generate a DNS zone if it does not exist already and configure the DNS server. This option requires that you either specify at least one DNS forwarder through the --forwarder option or use the --no-forwarders option. --forwarder=IP_ADDRESS Add a DNS forwarder to the DNS configuration. You can use this option multiple times to specify more forwarders, but at least one must be provided, unless the --no-forwarders option is specified. --no-forwarders Do not add any DNS forwarders. Root DNS servers will be used instead. --reverse-zone=REVERSE_ZONE The reverse DNS zone to use --no-reverse Do not create new reverse DNS zone. If a reverse DNS zone already exists for the subnet, it will be used. --no-host-dns Do not use DNS for hostname lookup during installation --no-dns-sshfp Do not automatically create DNS SSHFP records. EXIT STATUS
0 if the command was successful 1 if an error occurred 3 if the host exists in the IPA server or a replication agreement to the remote master already exists IPA
