sysctl:cannot stat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding:No such file or directory

I'm trying to setup my Raspberry Pi (loaded with weezy-rasbian) as an IPv6 router as described on page 78-83 in Linux Journal Mai 2013.
During my setup I messed up to much. :-( and at a moment I got the message:
"sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding: No such file or directory"
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo sysctl -p
kernel.printk = 3 4 1 3
vm.swappiness = 1
vm.min_free_kbytes = 8192
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding: No such file or directory
Since I couldn't solve it, I started all over from the beginning with another SD card loaded with the same weezy-rasbian.
Unfortunately it starts already going wrong with the first command (it didn't go wrong in my first trial): putting "net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1" (without quotes) in /etc/sysctl.conf gives me the same error as described above.
When I remove the line in /etc/sysctl the error disappears.
But leaving the line out means IPv6 routing is not enabled.
What am I doing wrong here?
sysctl:cannot stat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding:No such file or directory
Is the IPv6 kernel module loaded?
a lsmod|grep ipv6 should show it, or check '/sbin/ifconfig -a' if you have any IPv6 addresses there.

Thanks Jeroen.
You solved in a second what I couldn't do in half a day. (that's how it is with a newbee)

And that is why asking (and daring to ask) is a good thing, as one might get an answer that saves quite some time ;)
