looks like you have problems getting your firewall running smooth under your VPS.
the solution is easy.
take your favorite editor (vi, nano, ...) and open the file "/etc/sysconfig/iptables-config".
one of the first setting should be "IPTABLES_MODULES". i bet in your case it is a very short line.
try to change it into this...

IPTABLES_MODULES="ipt_REJECT ipt_tos ipt_TOS ipt_LOG ip_conntrack ipt_limit ipt_multiport iptable_filter iptable_mangle ipt_TCPMSS ipt_tcpmss ipt_ttl ipt_length ipt_state iptable_nat ip_nat_ftp"

...or whichever modules you need... that\'s all
