Though you said the temp files were owned by root and mode 700...  Named
won't be able to work with them.

I might hazard a guess that the other user's sticky bit hasn't been set
for your /tmp directory.  I've had that happen to me.

e.g. This is how mine is set:
     ls -dl /tmp
     drwxrwxrwt  16 root root 4096 Apr 22 15:33 /tmp

See the chmod map page for how to set the sticky bit.

Though, I'd have thought any named temp files would have ended up
inside:  /var/named/chroot/var/tmp
