IPChains Question (compatibility mode on kernel 2.4.x)

I am using RH90. From my (limited) understanding the following IPchain should work (all my rules based on tcp, udp & icmp work).

-A input -i eth0 -p ddp --dport rtmp -j ACCEPT
#-A input -i eth0 -p ddp --dport zip -j ACCEPT
#-A input -i eth0 -p ddp --dport nbp -j ACCEPT
#-A input -i eth0 -p ddp --dport echo -j ACCEPT
#-A input -i eth0 -p ddp -s 172.25.0.0/16 --dport rtmp -j ACCEPT
#-A input -i eth0 -p ddp -s 172.25.0.0/16 --dport zip -j ACCEPT
#-A input -i eth0 -p ddp -s 172.25.0.0/16 --dport nbp -j ACCEPT
#-A input -i eth0 -p ddp -s 172.25.0.0/16 --dport echo -j ACCEPT

I get the following error(s):

[root@enet root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains restart

Flushing all current rules and user defined chains:        [  OK  ]
Clearing all current rules and user defined chains:        [  OK  ]

Applying ipchains firewall rules: /sbin/ipchains: can only specify ports for icmp, tcp or udp
Try `/sbin/ipchains -h' or '/sbin/ipchains --help' for more information. ipchains command -A input -i eth0 -p ddp --dport rtmp -j ACCEPT failed This is /sbin/ipchains-restore v1.1.2
If this is the latest version of ipchains-restore, and the input was created using the latest version of ipchains-save, then I'd really appreciate a bug report. Please send the input you used, and all the output from this program to the author, `ipchains@rustcorp.com' with `BUG-REPORT' in the subject line so I know to read the message.

Apologies for the inconvenience,
Paul ``Rusty'' Russell.

Any ideas on what I could do to fix this?

PS -- ipchains@rustcorp.com doesn't work.

My entire chain set is attached below incase some thing is dependent:
