In Bind 9 you should have a TTL value at the top of each zone file (before
the SOA). For example:
$TTL 604800
@ IN SOA localhost. root.localhost. (
1 ; Serial
604800 ; Refresh
86400 ; Retry
2419200 ; Expire
604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL
Also, I'm not sure, but I think that PenaltyBox/db.root should be specified
in your named.conf file as 'type master' rather than 'type hint'.
As for catching any further errors, I highly recommend the commands
'named-checkconf', 'named-checkzone', and these two sites:

Hope this helps.
