I think this is a shell scripting problem, not an iptables problem.=20
You seem to be forwarding pings to different interfaces per script
invocation (usually during boot time)?  What are you trying to
accomplish?  If you state your goal, the list might be able to come up
with a solution using iptables.

Other things:

Usually if you accept pings in one direction (say -i eth0 -o eth1) you
want pongs to go in the other direction (-i eth1 -o eth0).

I'm not exactly sure why you are forwarding from an interface to
itself, though I don't have much experience with this kind of thing.
