ipfw isn't some sort of daemon to be stopped and started. If you want to
add rules, delete rules or what ever then you just do it.
Take a look at the script in /etc/rc.firewalls and you'll see that's all
they are doing.
so your firewall file should be a shell script. Even if you do man
ipfw you'll see that in no way does ipfw accept a file name as an
arguemnt. Pretty simple eh?
