Jose,

What Mark is showing, is that named is run in chroot as a user, and does 
not have permission to enter the etc directory, to access the named.conf 
file it needs to process the reconfig command.

The permissions on etc above show permissions of 1130, the user bind can 
not enter this directory and fails with a 'permission denied'. If you are 
having problems with dumping stats, ensure that named has access to write 
to the default directory, or wherever you pointed stats output with a 
statistics-file directive.
