Custom firewall configuration not persistent across ESXi host reboot

I have followed the istructions in this KB http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=200738...

When my host reboots it still does not add my cutom firewall settings.. If I use the shell and run esxcli network firewall refresh manually it adds it.

I am running ESXi 5.1, According to the KB you add esxcli network firewall refresh to the /etc/profile.local I have confirmed that my xml is being copied from my datastore.

Can you try to add it to /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh instead and see what happens... ?
