Hmm, looks like something similar is happening with macros (should this be a 
new thread?). With the following rules in `/etc/shorewall/rules`:

> BitTorrent32(DNAT-)                   wan                   lan:10.5.1.1
> BitTorrent32(NFQUEUE(0:1c,bypass))    wan                   lan:10.5.1.1

I get the following when running `-v2 check`:

> ..Expanding Macro /usr/share/shorewall/macro.BitTorrent...
>    ERROR: Invalid ACTION (PARAM:1c,bypass))) 
> /usr/share/shorewall/macro.BitTorrent (line 12)

What I'm trying to do is create a DNAT rule using an explicit NFQUEUE instead 
of an implicit ACCEPT. The plan is to implement this as a custom action or 
macro to simplify the management of rules.

Unfortunately, `trace compile` is pretty unhelpful in this case... ending 
without an error (and thus no line number for the problematic code). Else I'd 
have worked up a pull request with a fix.

Trace attached.
