to:

iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

the first line places the accept rule at the end of the chian, after the reject rule. The port 10000 connection is rejected before it gets to the accept rule. The -I causes the rule to be inserted at the beginning of the chain. This may be unique to what I am using, Fedora 3, as it worked for the OP.

Posting this in case someone has the same problem as I did.

Thanks iluvatar for getting me pointed in the right direction.
