Why are you trying to flush those tables?

To install a new set of rules.

flush should kill everything if i am not mistaken. 
Are you replacing the main table etc as well?

Try to downgrade the kernel and see what happens - go as far as 2.6.12

But why? It works with older (ss050330) version of iproute2 even on 
2.6.13.3.

Ok, sorry i wasnt aware of that. Try the attached patch.

Look like the -batch code that keeps the RTNL handle open was
breaking this.  The patch shows the general idea, but it still has
problems because I think it would still not work if used in
-batch situation.
