Which one is specified in the FORWARD rule? Make sure it is the translated address (ie the address on the packet after it has gone through the PREROUTING rule), because it will no longer have the original destination address by the time it hits the FORWARD chain. If that's not the answer then post your actual ruleset (by all means munge the addresses if you don't want us to know exactly what they are, but let us see which ones are which...)
