Error messages like those are frequently seen when you try to run a 
newer script with an older version of Nmap. Occasionally there are 
fundamental changes to scripts, their libraries and/or nse_main.lua that 
will prevent new scripts from working with old versions of Nmap.

You could try editing ip-forwarding.nse to replace SCRIPT_NAME with a 
string (i.e. "ip-forwarding"). I think all the other libraries (e.g. 
dns, packet, string, ipOps) exist in your version, but you may run into 
further problems at which point you might be out of luck.
