The default /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf defines the netfilter log location on line 32: LOGFILE=/var/log/messages
/var/log/messages was removed from /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf in natty, as the same information was being logged to /var/log/syslog. See changelog: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/4.6.4-2ubuntu4
Any shorewall command requiring netfilter logs, on a new install post-natty, fails as such:
# shorewall dump
LOGFILE (/var/log/messages) does not exist!
