Subject: ebtables - invalid table name

I installed ebtables
I created sample rules in the file /etc/sysconfig/ebtables.filter, like 
those:

#! /bin/sh
EBTABLES=/sbin/ebtables

$EBTABLES -t filter -P INPUT DROP
$EBTABLES -t filter -P FORWARD ACCEPT
$EBTABLES -t filter -P OUTPUT DROP

When I start the service:
service ebtables start
I receive this messages:
File /etc/sysconfig/ebtables.filter contains invalid table name [FAILLED]

What does it mean? What do I have to add in the file ebtables.filter?

Can you help me?
Thanks
Andrea
