Without su I get on the command line:

In your case reporting an exception fails, so we cannot see the real cause.

[M66B]

Looking at the code, XPrivacy should have logged the real problem before the exception you mention, so please try again and post the logging before too.

[M66B]

My best guess is that you will find the same null pointer exception, which will be fixed in the next release.

Yes, same null pointer exception.
It will be fixed in the next version.
This exception is caused by a missing argument, which normally doesn't happen.
You can try this test version if you like: http://d-h.st/FuS
