Many RBLs have policies in place against open resolvers, such as Google DNS, OpenDNS, etc. You're on the right track, you need a local resolver that is configured to query directly to the authoritative DNS server.
Unbound, or any local resolver, would need to be configured to use root hints to resolve directly, rather than go thru a forwarder. Is unbound configured to use a forwarder?
