Your problem is in the first line - there should be a mail address included (assuming gatekeeper.mobot.org is the name of the primary master server for these PTR records)

You have:
83.46.208.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA gatekeeper.mobot.org. (

You need:
83.46.208.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA gatekeeper.mobot.org. xxx@mobot.org (

You need to add xxx@mobot.org and change xxx to a valid email address (okay, you should change it to a valid email address - Bind won't care if it's valid or not)

Your values may still be giving you errors (all you have to do is follow the error messages once you do the fix - ie. do the math).

addr2name

ADDR2NAME(1)							   User's Manual						      ADDR2NAME(1)

NAME

       addr2name, name2addr - perform DNS lookups from scripts

SYNOPSIS

       addr2name [-46cmnr] [HOSTNAMES]

       name2addr [-46cn] [HOSTNAMES]

DESCRIPTON

       Write  addresses  or canonical hostname of specified names to the standard output. If no names are specified via the command line, they are
       read from the standard input.

OPTIONS

       -4 or --ipv4
	      Only try to perform IPv4 lookups.

       -6 or --ipv6
	      Only try to perform IPv6 lookups.

       -c or --config
	      Only lookup and print results for address families that match locally configured addresses (If the system  has  no  IPv4	resp  IPv6
	      address, then IPv4 resp IPv6 addresses are ignored).

       -h or --help
	      Display some help and exit.

       -m or --multiple
	      Normally,  if  a	name  yields  multiple	results, only the first one is printed.  With this optional parameter, all results will be
	      printed on a single line, separated by spaces.

       -n or --numeric
	      Prevent forward hostname lookup.	This ensures that the input names are numeric addresses, which do not need to be looked up.  Typi-
	      cally used along with the --reverse option to convert numerical addresses to canonical hostnames.

       -r or --reverse
	      Perform a reverse DNS lookup (enabled implicitly with addr2name).  addr2name prints numerical resolved addresses by default instead.

       --version
	      Display program version and license and exit.
