Is it perhaps possible that you called iptables -L without making
available the location of your module? (in case it's not in the
standard search patch) If you only compiled Xt-a, but not install
anything, then something like
XTABLES_LIBDIR=$my/extensions:$standardpath iptables {-A|-L} ...
is needed. This needs to be present at both insert time as well
as when you run with -L.
The standard path depends on distro, each seems to want to roll
their own cookiecoloring (/usr/libexec/iptables, /usr/lib64/iptables,
/lib64/iptables are some examples...)
