Yeah, we talked about that -- you're using an old zone file that doesn't have
the same signature as the current ones.  If I were you and didn't want
to download a new one, I'd definitely do the kludge I mentioned before --- copy
the nwsz_ddmmyy.dbfawk file from config to your Counties directory, rename
it z_30au02.dbfawk, and edit the dbfinfo string so it matches your signature.
That way you'll be able to get the right thing done with your zone file.
And if you download a new one later it'll have a different name and match
the signature in the config/nwsz_ddmmyy.dbfawk file, so it will work out of 
the box

For this one you'll need to make a dbfawk file for if you want anything
other than the default behavior, of course.
