You get this error because you used the option "Log all dropped packets" (there is a checkbox in the 'Firewall' tab). This option requires the "dropped" patch from patch-o-matic. You either need to turn this option off, or apply the corresponding patch and recompile both kernel modules and command-line utilities for iptables.
