Iptables not saving...

I forgot to mention that my cron job was already updated to output to
a regular file, but even this still does not work.  Chains are gone
after reboot.

[root at mars ~]# cat /etc/cron.hourly/iptables.cron
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables

When I do that, after I reboot, I get this:

[root at mars ~]# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
