Thanks for your reply, Antony. Changing the log-level to 7 seems to have done the trick. The question then is: How do I now capture iptables messages to their own log (/var/log/firewall)? I suppose I could grep for the log-prefix and redirect the output into /var/log/firewall, but if there's a simpler way, that'd be swell.

Try using the numeric values in your netfilter LOG rules instead of the words notice and warning for the log-level.
