[PLUG] Bind Denying transfers

My primary nameserver is not allowing a slave to get transfers from it.
I just recently moved from mandrake 8.2 to 9.0 and have shorewall running.
I assume that since its getting to the /var/log/syslog that its getting
through the firewall, so I can eliminate that possibility.

this is what the slave service is giving me as a result of the transfer
failure:
Reason for Last Failure:  Error 5 returned for AXFR query

My /var/log/syslog shows:
Oct 17 23:31:52 dns named[1246]: client 204.74.104.97#36486: zone transfer
'domainName.com/IN' denied

some sniplets from /etc/named.conf:

acl secondary.com { 204.74.104.97; };

zone "domainName.com" {
        type master;
        file "/var/named/domainName.com.hosts";
        allow-transfer{ secondary.com; };
        allow-query{ any; };
};

is there anything else that I am missing to get this to work?
When I was using Mandrake 8.2 (not sure what bind version), I had no
problems like this.

My current bind version is: bind 9.2.1-4mdk

any advice would be greatly appreciated.
