It is an error from ipmasq executable which is called from fwctl. It means you dont have masquerading in the kernel. From 0.25-4 on the exit status of ipmasq command is ignored if you clean the rules (flush) so you can actually use fwctl on a system without masq support. But of course in tht case you should not use -masq rules. In case i am wrog with my answer please inform me.
