The asterisk causes the shell to expand the names and run ls with them 
as a single command, so in effect you have "ls file1 file2 file3 ...".   
Try the following instead:

cd /etc/bind
for FILE in *.signed
do
   grep --regexp=" IN CNAME .*${QUERY}" ${FILE} 2>/dev/null |cut -d ' ' -f1 |sed 's|.$||'
done

It might still have the same issue, but worth a go.

I assume the command length is also why your not simply running "grep -h 
<expression> *.signed"?
