On other OS's the . is mandatory or it fails.  With out the . the is added
to the base.  Which would be

1.0.158.192.168.192.

instead of

1.0.158.192.

I tried it non the less and it still fails with the exact same message.  I
found that if I use

0.168.192.in-addr.arpa

1    IN      PTR     ip1921680001.local.x.com.
2    IN      PTR     ip1921680002.local.x.com.
..
254  IN      PTR     ip192168000254.local.x.com.

Did work but then I have 256 files to do.  I realy want to stay consistent
across all platforms.

168.192.in-addr.arpa

0.1    IN      PTR     ip1921680001.local.x.com.
0.2    IN      PTR     ip1921680002.local.x.com.
..
255.254  IN      PTR     ip192168000254.local.x.com.

Does not work.  Same error.
