local privstring = minetest.privs_to_string(minetest.get_player_privs(target))

get_player_privs, like a lot of things, requires a name as the argument, and not a player object.

that issue in the API has bugged me for ages, maybe i'll fix it. anything that can take a player name as an argument should also accept a player object, and most things that accept a player object ought to also accept a name.
