The correct syntax that should work under any shell should be
{fwcmd} add 300 deny ip from table\(1\) to me
or
{fwcmd} add 300 deny ip from "table(1)" to me

Hm. is 'table' a hostname in your network? When i tried
your syntax, i got:
tele# ipfw add 1 count all from table '1' to me
ipfw: hostname ``table'' unknown
tele#
