Try this method. Run your script by hand so it loads all your rules.
Then run
/etc/init.d/iptables save active
this should create a set of rules named active that get loaded upon
startup. You can also create an inactive set of rules that will be
loaded when the init script tells iptables to stop.

You are dishonest, but never to the point of hurting a friend.
