You need the -r which means to use as a rejection list -a is a white list (don't run through an rbl). I don't have any problems using multiple lines when entering then in the blacklists file... putting it directly into the smtp/run file without a \ on the end of the line would be foolish though.
Use the qmail-inject line I sent last time to test your email...it'll show you where it's failing.
