Is your home PC assigned a fixed IP? It really needs to be if it's going to be a name server. You should follow Ken's advice and check your domain name registration account to see what name servers were specified. Yep, it is indeedy. One of the benefits of force9's loveliness.
As to the DNS specified on registration - I received this from hostmaster@eu.org - The following records will be inserted in the zone file: PMSUMNER IN NS PMSUMNER.FORCE9.CO.UK. IN NS NS8.ZONEEDIT.COM.
This is clearly foobarred. "dig ns pmsumner.eu.org" confirms it. I'm pretty sure this has to be fixed upstream of your server. Maybe one of the dns gurus can verify this. I looked at your zone file and didn't see any obvious Thank you for your time in looking at it. I'll probably leave it a few days for things to propogate properly as it's all very newly registered. Hopefully that'll help.
problems although my preference is to use CNAMES for aliases instead of A records (others prefer your way so there's no reason to change it). Ahh, the joys of DNS where everyone has a different way of doing it ;) It's worse than Perl!
