IpTables Rope Scripting Language Error Explanation - EBadArgCount

This error indicates that a Rope action has been passed an unexpected number or arguments. This might be because AnchorBrackets were not used to collect the arguments together when they should have been, or because they were used when they should not have been, or simply because you passed too many or too few.

In order to verify the expected number of arguments, first identify the action that reported the error, and then check it's manual page on this site (see LanguageReference) to determine whether brackets should be used or not, and if so: how many arguments should be placed between them.

Remember that an action does not know how many arguments you pass to it unless you put them in a bracketed list (see AnchorBrackets).
