Do you perhaps have some cron job running on your system which periodically 
reloads some standard ruleset, and this ruleset doesn't include the 
user-defined chains which you've added by hand?

Make a careful note of the exact time the chains disappear, put them back in, 
and see when they disappear again.   The two times may give you a clue as to 
what to look for on your system.

I'd be pretty certain this is not netfilter losing chains all by itself.

Antony.
