the error is like what one would get when one doesn't have a connlimit patched kernel...

http://www.netfilter.org/projects/pa...base-connlimit

i say this because i know for a fact i haven't applied the connlimit patch to my kernel and when i execute that iptables command i get exactly the same error as you...

i am on a vanilla kernel 2.4.33-pre1 with iptables 1.3.5...
