Ahh my fault. I found out what it was. In my named.conf I had this from 
when I used to run bind9 from ports with a rndc.conf instead of an rncd.key:

controls {
       inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
       allow { 127.0.0.1; };
};

Commenting this out has made me able to reload it all the time. Sorry 
for the noise people!

Cheers ;-)

Matt.
