I believe what was referred to earlier was the lack of quotes- as in "". 
The rc variables in the conf are strings, so your rc.conf should have this:

jail_forest-friend_rootdir="/usr/jails/forest-friend"
jail_forest-friend_ip="192.168.0.15"

However, whether or not a hyphen is allowed in the jail name is another 
matter. Yes a hyphen is allowed in a hostname, but in the rc.conf the 
hostname is set in a string (as mentioned before). Also, the jail name 
and hostname don't need to be the same thing.
