Each line of the dlz config has a name.  The "allow zone transfer"
query line is the very last line before the closing curly brace.  Take
a look at:
  http://bind-dlz.sourceforge.net/ldap_driver.html
That will tell you what is expected to be there.  Compare your last
line to what is in the example.  Look for mismatched parentheses is
the first thing I would expect.

As someone else stated, posting the configs would be immensely helpful
(obfuscate any passwords).
