Please include the full error message.. It would certainly have been useful in this case since that "Interface does not accept private ioctl error" is probably given from every ioctl error code..

I would guess that you are trying to kick a station for which the driver does not have any data. This will return an error and iwpriv will show that message and the real error on the next line. This is probably something like '8BF6: Invalid argument' in case the given address was not found. If you use an address for a station that has authenticated, kickmac should work fine.
