Thanks for all the responses to the plea for help below. It turned out the kernel module which implements REDIRECT had not been flagged for compilation in the distro. I had been given.
For the record, in case anyone else has the same problems again, to fix it: Edit /usr/src/linux/.config and change # CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_REDIRECT is not set to CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_REDIRECT=m then make modules make modules_install depmod -ae Now modprobe can be used to add the module to the kernel.
