Oh, Michael Michael

chkconfig doesn't find it if it doesn't exist.

[summer potoroo ~]$ sudo /sbin/chkconfig named --list
error reading information on service named: No such file or directory
[summer potoroo ~]$

How is that relevant to the immediate problem? I don't see how the 
presence of that symlink matters to the command that failed.

Besides, chkconfig has already checked those symlinks, that's how it 
reported:
named           0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
