It looks like the expected behaviour to me.  Try "rec_control 
get-parameter forward-zones-file" instead.

However, you should not put your forward zones file under 
/etc/powerdns/recursor.d/.  That's because powerdns tries to read all 
the files in that directory as powerdns configuration directives.  
You'll see the following in the default config:

include-dir=/etc/powerdns/recursor.d

Therefore, put them in another directory.  I just use one level up:

# rec_control get-parameter forward-zones-file
forward-zones-file="/etc/powerdns/forward.zones"
#

Regards,

Brian.
