Dear Brett,
I also try usr /var/qmail/bin/dot-forward in .qmail, still don't work.
ls -l /var/qmail/bin/dot-forward:
-rwxr-xr-x1 root root29604 Aug  9 18:34
/var/qmail/bin/dot-forward*

what ownership should it be? ..

try using a .qmail file.

or if you want to use the .forward files look at:

What do your logs say? I have tried and persisted to point out that
you don't need .forward, but since you obviously aren't taking the
hint, tail -f /var/log/qmail/send/current, send a test message, and
tell us what it says.

Just for the fun of it, try putting /var/qmail/bin/dot-forward.

Oh, what the hell. While you're at it, ls -l
/var/qmail/bin/dot-forward and give us the output.

U... try this in .qmail:

./Maildir/
