start your fw script with the following:

        bash -x <script>
        
and it will show you the parsing of every line and you will be able to
see which line causes the error.

if i had to take a stab in the dark--i'd guess it's "-m state" rule;
which would mean you built your kernel without connection tracking
support--which would explain the other behavior as well...

the connection tracking option is "CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK" in your
kernel config.  i *highly* recommend including it unless you have a very
compelling reason not to.
