Your host and jail have to be at same release level or you have problems 
like you are having.
If you had read the qjail info you would have found that the current 
version only supports 9.1 and newer as its now converted to use 
jail.conf file.
There is big differences between 8.4, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 and 10.0 as the jail 
function is getting a lot of maintenance that is changing how it works.
You will get the best results if your using 9.2 for both your host and 
jail.
