firewall rules do not get read

[Chip]

I noticed my firewall rules are not being read. I have rc.conf set to 
read the file rc.firewall. In rc.firewall the first line is add divert 
natd etc etc. that is followed by pass all from any to any etc etc. Then 
nothing after that is read, it is all ignored.
If I comment out the line pass all from any to any then nothing works to 
access the internet.
I don't know what to do to make it read past those first two lines.
Any suggestions?
