Spot on. I had bash.lrp loaded!
So this leads me on to asking if you could add an entry for bash on
you packages page at http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/Packages.htm
<http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/Packages.htm> stating that installing the bash
package, therefore changing the default shell, can possibly break the
scripts in other packages. Quoting tinydns as an example.
I believe that the default shell /bin/sh should *always* be linked
to /bin/ash because it is the basis of the LEAF scripts. Installing bash.lrp
should not change this and that bash should be stated explicitly in scripts
where required.
My DNS is all up and running now, serving both the private network
and resolving hosts on the company network.
Thanks for the help.

Are you running bash by any chance? If so, that's the problem...UID
is
a read-only variable in bash, but ash doesn't support read-only
variables.
If this is the problem, a quick solution would be to change the
shell
interpreter (first line of the shell script) to ash, ie:
change:
#!/bin/sh
to:
#!/bin/ash
