Two very obvious questions first - I don't think these will be the problem,
but I might as well check:
1. Is the machine you are uploading to connected via eth0?
2. Does the machine you are uploading to have IP address 192.168.0.2?
Both the above must be "yes" for the second rule you have (the one that's not
apparently working properly) to count packets.
Now for the suggestion where I think you *may* have an error:
3. Do you have any PREROUTING nat rules which mean that by the time packets
hit the FORWARD chain, they're no longer addressed to 192.168.0.2?
A good way to answer this would be to show us the rule in your FORWARDing
filter table which allows the connection (the upload connection which you are
having problems measuring) to work.
I cannot think of any reason why a rule in the FORWARD mangle table would not
see packets which are correctly being processed by the FORWARD filter table.

Antony.
