Hello, yes, it was my mistake. I fixed it some time ago (get the latest cvs version of netfilter), so that now it won't try to hardlink in a different /tmp but inside the same directory (to maximize the chances of being on the same partition). So give it a try and let me know if it still doesn't work.
