You must chmod +x this script:
# chmod +x script_name
in that directory: /etc/network/if-up.d/

Thanks, but I was forced to +x the script in order to run it manually.
Something else is the problem.

Files in that directory are executed by 'run-parts'. That
has some restrictions upon the filenames you may use. See
'man run-parts' for details.
My suggestion:
1. Name the script 'firewall'.
2. Make sure it is executable.
3. Make sure your firewall is flushed/off.
4. Run /etc/init.d/networking restart, or reboot.
5. Now list rules.

Yes! I knew that once! My filename contained a dot-extension.
Get rid of the dot and now it works!
Oh joy! Oh rapture!
And Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou.
