What were the errors?  That works for me on my firewalls with the
proviso that some older RedHat/Fedora systems were using additional
chains so a dump of the input chain results in something like this:

[root at complex mhw]# iptables -nL INPUT
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT  all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0   

You actually have to dump the RH-Firewall-1-INPUT chain to see the real
rules.

Regards,
Mike
