You can't do that. jabber:iq:private is a namespace that has special
meaning to a server (at least servers that support it), which is why
you're getting an error when you try to route around the server.

It looks like j2 will pass it on to the client, thats correct. Whether
it should is another story - I think the results of such an action
(using a predefined namespace in a non-standard way) is undefined at
best.

If you want to guarantee that it works correctly everywhere, use a
custom namespace.
