Well, did you try the example I asked about?  I suspect not, because the=20
problem here seems to be that "-j ULOG" should be AFTER the state matchin=
g=20
part of the rule...  If I enter the line you used, I get the same '--stat=
e'=20
error, but if I put the target after the match (or remove the match, as p=
er=20
my debugging suggestion above) it does NOT.
