It is possible that your iptables modules are loaded after the sysctl.conf is 
executed.
Keep in mind that sysctl.conf is loaded during network startup. 

About the options... at least with kernel  2.6.18.0194.el5 the right option 
is:

options ipt_hashsize 131072

Also keep in mind that you have to remove the '=' sign from modprobe.conf
