That error is fairly explicit.  Either you have a stale PID file,
/var/run/named, which should be deleted.  Or you have a stale PID file
with permissions that prevent named from deleting & recreating it.  Either
way, delete the PID file, and try again.  And please, fix your wordwrap to
something under 80 char/line.
