I'll flame you now because you were wrong (As you requested).  IPCHAINS works with 
2.2, IPTABLES works with 2.4...

Please flame me if I have this backwards, but I believe ip_tables only works under 
2.2.x and earlier kernels, and the 2.4.x kernel introduced ip_chains and is 
incompatible with ip_tables.

You have to use the right one, even thought the package/module for both shows up (at 
least in Woody) and loads, but if you're using the 2.4 kernel the earlier stuff just 
"fails" like you're describing.
