When I see the words "unexpected error" coming out of software, I'm always 
concerned.

I believe that what you are seeing is the result of BIND 9.9 doing more things 
"automatically", including bringing in a set of DNSSEC trust anchors (root and 
DLV) and not being able to create the file.

You should be able to use the option "bindkeys-file" to set a location that is 
writable for this file.

It's also going to happen if you use managed-keys, as there is a "keystone" 
created that needs to be updated.  See the "managed-keys-directory" option.
