I'd suggest you make a copy of this file and try to identify which
rule from this file is causing the error.  It is a plain text file, so
you can comment out (with '#' characters) various rules (lines that
start with '[') to figure out which rule is causing the error.

BTW, many of the filter options changed in recent kernels.  You should
double check your kernel configuration and make sure you have at least

CONFIG_NETFILTER=y
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XTABLES=m

You'll also need at least some CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_* options under

Networking->
    Networking options ->
        Network packet filtering ->
            Core Netfilter Configuration ->
