IOCTL(SIOCIPFL6): Invalid Argument

Looking for some assistance, please:

Working with FSBD 5.1.  On reboot I see the following comment:

...
Enabling ipfilter
ioctl(SIOCIPFL6): Invalid Argument
...

Google is mute on the subject except for listing where this item is used as
a preprocessor directive.

I have modified /etc/rc.d/ipfilter to remove the "-E" startup flag from 3
locations (which cleared up the ipfilter already initialized comments), but
this problem was happening before I made that modification.  I only mention
it because the two issues (the Invalid Argument and the Ipfilter already
initialized comments) may be related.

I have tried turning off ipnat and ipmon in the rc.conf file, but this
persists, leading me to believe the problem is in fact with the ipfilter
command (or setup).

Following is the rc.conf, ip.rules, and modified kernel file I am using:

==============================
/etc/rc.conf:
