On the surface, it looks like mine... But I discovered that on one of my
machines (one which doesn't act as a firewall), I could get that same
type of error (although it says line 65 for some reason). On that
machine, there is no "iptables" directory in /var/lib.
I'd say this should be created when installing whatever packet iptables
is in, but well. mkdir /var/lib/iptables and you should be in business.
I'd say this directory would be ok being owned by root & with 700
rights.

PS: about this directory being missing... Anybody thinks I should fill a
smallish bug for that? Running unstable with numerous upgrades almost
each day...
