Now there is a similar, though slightly different problem with another zone kvi-cart.rug.nl. The signer responded with servfail when requested for the SOA record, or for zone transfers for this zone.
In the systlog, there where a log of messages like:

May 16 20:32:42 dns ods-signerd: [axfr] zone kvi-cart.rug.nl expired at 1400245434, and it is now 1400265162: not serving soa May 16 20:32:42 dns ods-signerd: [axfr] zone kvi-cart.rug.nl expired at 1400245434, and it is now 1400265162: not serving soa May 16 20:32:42 dns ods-signerd: [axfr] zone kvi-cart.rug.nl expired at 1400245434, and it is now 1400265162: not serving soa May 16 20:32:43 dns ods-signerd: [axfr] zone kvi-cart.rug.nl expired at 1400245434, and it is now 1400265163: not serving soa May 16 20:32:43 dns ods-signerd: [axfr] zone kvi-cart.rug.nl expired at 1400245434, and it is now 1400265163: not serving soa May 16 20:32:43 dns ods-signerd: [axfr] zone kvi-cart.rug.nl expired at 1400245434, and it is now 1400265163: not serving soa

Apparently, also for this zone the transfers of the unsigned zone where not processed correctly, but we did not notice it until the zone expired.
So, I used the same work-around and now the zone is served correctly.

I have the impression, that something is wrong with the processing of the incoming zone transfers and I would like to know what I can do to further diagnose this problem, before yet another zone will pop up with a similar problem.

Hi Fred,

The /var/opendnssec/tmp/rug.nl-xfrd-state file still shows the old soa serial 2014051506, where the unsigned system is already at 2014051520. To me it looks as if opendnssec receives the zone, but does not process it.
Any other ideas to diagnose this problem?

Can you have a look at /var/opendnssec/unsigned/rug.nl* ?

If the zone changes arrive (I assume the mutliple arrivals are due to zone updates, each resulting in a NOTIFY) then you should find it there, probably as rug.nl.axfr.

That should help you distinguish if it is a transport problem or a signer-trigger problem.

You can manually trigger resigning to see if it is a matter of the new arrival not triggering the signer properly, with
ods-signer sign rug.nl
