Description of problem:
NetworkManager tryes to invoke bind as follows:

/usr/sbin/named --with-named-dir=/var/named/data --with-named-user=named

which is not ok for bind:

[root@DustPuppy networkmanager]# /usr/sbin/named
--with-named-dir=/var/named/data --with-named-user=named
usage: named [-4|-6] [-c conffile] [-d debuglevel] [-f|-g] [-n
number_of_cpus]
             [-p port] [-s] [-t chrootdir] [-u username]
             [-m {usage|trace|record}]
named: unknown option '--'

Also the message in the logs is a bit misleading:

Feb  3 20:09:16 DustPuppy NetworkManager: Couldn't initialize
nameserver: Failed to execute child process "/usr/sbin/named
--with-named-dir=/var/named/data --with-named-user=named" (No such
file or directory)
