Firstly,  are your network interfaces initialised before iptables is called?

I am a bit in the dark when it comes to your configuration.
- What script is being called from /etc/init.d (or /etc/rcX.d/) that
calls iptables?
- What user and group own this script?
- What are the permissions and ownership of this script.
Please provide a copy of the startup script for reviewing.
