Try to see if this patch works:

Then , in the call, use XEP-0016 queries, and provide only the query part, for example:

 ejabberdctl privacy_set user1 localhost "<query xmlns='jabber:iq:privacy'><active name='i-am-visible-list'/></query>"

Oh, the code in mod_privacy

Oh, the code in mod_privacy in recent versions changed, and now that command cannot work, neither in SQL or Mnesia. I'll check if I can make it to work again in the next days.
