Chris,

It is a 5106R I hit '9' instead of '0'
It is really odd, as I don't find the error in /var/log/messages just 
shows up in logwatch???
ahhh....
try this on a 5106R running named
      zcat /var/log/messages.1.gz | grep  modification
or
      zcat /var/log/messages.*.gz | grep  modification

on this 5106R server shows up only in /var/log/messages.1.gz   "Oct 7"

    zone domain1.ltd/IN: refresh: could not set file modification time 
of 'db.domain1.tld': permission denied: 9 Time(s)
