I'm afraid you might have applied an incompatible patch for iptables. As
far as I can remember the
tproxy-iptables-1.4.0-20080521-113954-1211362794.patch you've mentioned
does not support tproxy 2.0.6.

The option would be to use the iptables patch incorporated in the cttproxy
release. You'll probably have to use an older version of iptables to be
able to apply that patch, though.
