The above appears to be part (if not all) of your problem. It should
read:
IPTABLES='/sbin/iptables'
or even:
IPTABLES="/sbin/iptables"
The use of the back ticks (`) rather than the single (') or double (")
quotes attempts to assign the output of the command(s) within them to
the variable, rather than assigning the string between them.
Based on this, the firewall has never successfully executed. Other than
that, you make want to take a close look at which ports you leave open
in the ALLOWED_PORTS (and UDP and TCP variants).
