After you have killed named start it with 'start' not 'restart'.

This doesn't look right.  My control section in named.conf is :

controls {
        inet 127.0.0.1 allow { any; }
        keys { rndc-key; };

No need for 'include '.  Your rndc.conf should also be located in your 
chroot /etc dir.

Take notice to what is in between {} in the keys statement.  This has to match 
what is in your rndc.conf file.


server localhost {
        key     "rndc-key";
};
