Try configuring your DNS server to maintain the DDNS zone file in
the /var/named/slaves directory instead, which is writable by named.
Is this something that's changed since FC4? If your DHCP server is
updating MASTER DNS records, then there's no reason that it should have
to be working in the SLAVE subdirectory. And no DHCP server ought to be
mucking about with slave records.
It (updating master records) certainly works in FC4, though I've set
SELinux options to allow named to overwrite master zone files.
/var/named/
drwxr-x--- 5 root named 4096 Mar 31 10:31 named
/var/named/chroot/
drwxr-x--- 6 root named 4096 Mar 31 10:31 chroot

Record files in the above directory are owned named:named.
It can't create new files such as journal files in
/var/named/chroot/var/named though, as that's only writeable by root.
There's also SELinux to consider - see:
http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/bind/FAQ.php (search for "journal" on
that page)
I agree that using the "slaves" directory for this seems wrong; the
"data" directory would be better, and should also work OK.
