You must be blocking INPUT or OUTPUT to 127.0.0.1 somehow.  I made
this mistake when setting up my firewall rules.  Be sure and have the
following commands in your config (or enter them from a root shell) :

    # allow loopback
    iptables -A INPUT -s 127.0.0.1/32 -j ACCEPT
    iptables -A OUTPUT -d 127.0.0.1/32 -j ACCEPT

HTH,
