I finally worked out why I had no support for IPTABLES.
Following the instructions is a bit incomplete:
 Networking ---> Networking options ---> [*] Network packet filtering 
(replaces ipchains) ---> IP: Netfilter Configuration ---> <M> IP tables 
support (required for filtering/masq/NAT)
*you need to do one more step:*
 turning on <M> IP tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT) 
isn't enough
you have to actually enable the type of IPtables support you want
I don't know what I need so turned most on (*or <M> as module*)
eg.
         
  <M>IP range match 
support                                                                                             
  <M>   Multiple port match 
support                                                                                        
  <M>   TOS match 
support                                                                                                  
  <M>   recent match 
support                                                                                               
  <M>   ECN match 
support                                                                                                  
  <M>   DSCP match support        
 Perhaps this is obvious to people more skilled in customising/compiling 
their own kernels.
But to me it wasn't and I assume from the number of similar questions 
not to alot of people either.
So I hope this saves somebody a bit of pain.

only 2.6.16.29-xen seems to have all the modules.
actually it seems to be a xen0 as I can run guest xenU inside of it.
 
 
in you xenU xm config file set
kernel=/path/to/2.6.16.29-xen
 then reboot yoru xenU and you should be able to load the 2.6.16.29-xen 
modules.
 (you can use a Xen0 kernel in a XenU with no problems; it's just 
slightly larger)
