The file saved in /etc/sysconfig/iptables isn't a script file. If you try to put a script file there, iptables won't read it. It has it's own preferred format, which is what you see after doing the 'service iptables save' command. Any script file (executable) will need to be elsewhere.

Are you talking about the init script I mentioned, which normally resides in /etc/init.d? If so, then what I said stands...at boot time, /etc/init.d/iptables reads the last saved configuration from /etc/sysconfig/iptables.
