I think that it will not show any (but it should show one, so I think that I have found the problem ;). Please, confirm this and I'll get back to you with a possible solution soon. BTW, why your script does not invoke the '-t', did you notice any problem? That schedules the cleanup of the kernel conntrack table after PurgeTimeout seconds when a node enters backup mode.
