Make sure the ip_tables module is loaded before you run the relay (and of 
course that you have ip_tables support in the kernel). The debian startup 
script already makes sure of this. For some reason, the ip_tables module is 
not autoloaded, even though all the other nat related modules are. This is why 
the startup script contains an explicit modprobe just to make sure it is 
loaded. Run this before you start the relay:

sudo modprobe ip_tables

Also make sure you have iptable_nat loaded
