NAT rules applyed but not working only after a reboot

Hi!

I have a simple but nasty problem.

When i add a new NAT rules or i modify any exsisting rule, the modification will be applyed, so i see the new settings in the webUI but actually not really work.
After i reboot the box the new/modifyed rules will be work but without a reboot its not.

How can i reload the NAT rules to make it work without a reboot?
Why i need a reboot for activating this rules anyway?

I dont see any strange thing in the logs just that the packed is dropped.

First guess, you need to kill states for the type of change you're making. Rule and NAT changes (with all firewalls) do not apply to existing active connections.

its not helping. tryed to kill all active states then apply nat rules but i have the same problem.

the truth is my box is not a fresh install, first i have the 2.0 version, then i started to upgrade to 2.1 beta versions, but then i rollback to the 2.0.1 stable. probably this is what cause this issue. i dont know
