You're not supposed to "manage" it on the slave server, just on the master
server.

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish.  If you copy the file using
scp, you don't even need to change it from master to slave.  A master is a
server that loads from a file, while a slave is one that uses zone
transfers to get the current version.
