modprobe: cannot parse modules.dep error

Hi all,
I am running into the following problem when invoking a netfilter iptables
( v1.3.8) and xtables support in the buildroot's busybox (v1.7.2) system. The
netfilter packet configuration and support modules are compiled and built
into the linux-2.6.16 kernel image.
When a 'C++' application code calls the iptables through
sprintf(buff, "%s -t mangle -A PREROUTING %s -j MARK --set-mark 512",
Config.iptables, Config.link[i]);
it throws the modprobe error.
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -d 88.160.215.156 -p icmp -j MARK --set-mark
512
modprobe: cannot parse modules.dep
modprobe: cannot parse modules.dep
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -s 88.160.215.156 -p icmp -j MARK --set-mark
512
modprobe: cannot parse modules.dep
modprobe: cannot parse modules.dep
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -d 88.160.215.156 -p tcp --dport http -j MARK
--set-mark 512
modprobe: cannot parse modules.dep
modprobe: cannot parse modules.dep
Normally it shouldn't do module probing as all the netfilter support symbols
are included in the kernel image. Can anybody tell me why the system throws
the modprobe error though the netfilters supports are built into the kernel
image.?
Thanks
