Thanks Mikhail, that was it:
=====
@               IN      NS      ns.example.org.
=====

Now it appears to be working correctly and responding to queries, however
I'm noticing I continue to get that same error when I add my CNAME entry:
=====
@              IN       CNAME    www.example.org.
=====

Doesn't the "@" simply represent the domain, in this case "example.org"?
That makes this translate from example.org -> www.example.org, correct?
