Is it possible that EXT_IF is not set? This really looks like
EXT_IF="". Try expicitly iptables -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j
MASQUERADE (or eth1 or whatever).
But I think it should be iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ..... -j
MASQUERADE.

This target is only valid in the nat table, in the
POSTROUTING chain.

Same problem. May you should have a look at man iptables.

Correct. MASQUERADE is not valid there.
