iptables v1.4.10: can't initialize iptables table `NAT': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
xxx:~# uname -a
Linux xxx.server4you.net 2.6.38-2-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 29 16:45:36 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The previous kernel was 2.6.32, iptables 1.4.2 and the problem was the same. Current kernel was built manually from source.

It should be
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.1.2
