The scripts were not touched and work correctly previously. The FAQ on the iptables website has the following entry: You have just upgraded your kernel and suddenly some of the commands (especially in the 'nat' table), and you experience something like: # iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE iptables: Invalid argument This happens when the structure size between kernel and userspace changes. You will need to recompile the iptables userspace program using the include files of your new kernel. This only happens if you (or the vendor of your kernel) has applied some patches either only to the old or only to the new kernel. It is not supposed to happen between vanilla kernel.org kernels.
