Hi Ludovic,
 Two things:

  - help message on errors is given by iptables in user-land. It seems that
    it's compiled with "ROUTE target" support. So it (iptables) "knows" the
    command line synthax. In this case, it is a "user-land error".

  - The error you get when you send a valid command line, comes from that
    the ROUTE target may not be correctly loaded in the netfilter framework
    but lsmod shows us that you performed a modprobe...

 Can you please send the content of the file proc/net/ip_tables_target


Regards

Yann.
