Your Windows server is definitely refusing the zone transfers/updates.

Have you specifically configured your Windows server to allow your FBSD server to be a valid secondary server? There's a specific section in the Windows DNS server where you specify secondary servers. Have you added your FBSD server to this list? If your FBSD server has multiple IP addresses assigned to it, be sure the one it's communicating DNS on is the one added to this list.

If you have, also be sure there isn't any firewalling in between the two servers... and if so, be sure that BOTH UDP and TCP on port 53 are allowed in each direction (zone transfers, if I'm not mistaken, run on TCP.)

Lastly, I hope you are intending to add the FBSD server to DNS for just basic DNS services... if you are intending to use the FBSD box to extend your Active Directory services (AD user authentication, for instance), you have a lot more to configure than just BIND as a secondary server to the Windows AD primary. But even if you are, you definitely have to overcome this hurdle first anyway.

Hope this helps,
