Rule looks fine, I can only speculate that $FW has something in it that is breaking it. Did you modify that in shorewall.conf?

Given that Aziz calls out Shorewall version 4.0.8.2, I assume that we're talking about Shorewall-perl. That compiler doesn't support the pre-3.0 convention of setting FW in shorewall.conf.

Bob's conjecture about $FW can be confirmed by looking at the error message.

        ERROR: Invalid/Unknown protocol (xxx)

'xxx' is what the compiler believes to be the contents of the PROTO column. If that isn't the protocol that was specified in the rule, then $FW is certainly suspect.
