You're not hallucinating. allow-transfer {}; is a valid statement
either in the options{}; section where it has a global effect, or inside
a zone{}; statement where it is only applicable to that zone.
And for reference, that error as originally quoted is definitely a
transfer problem, not a local file permissions problem. The "while
receiving responses:" context of the "permission denied" error message
indicates that the permission denied error came from the remote end, as
a response to the transfer request. A quick "host -t axfr <zone>
<server>" would probably yield permission denied as well, as a quick way
to confirm the problem.
Enjoy!
