sounds to me like you applied p-o-m, rebuilt your kernel, but did not rebuild your userspace.  anytime you apply a patch from pom that changes structures, or requires additional libraries, you need to recompile your userspace iptables utilities.  since it's unclear to me when the userspace rebuild is required--i do it everytime.  sounds like it was in this case for you...
