*/sbin/service* is working fine. It's just a shell script that finds and passes arguments to the init scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d/. (/etc/init.d is a symlink to /etc/rc.d/init.d: don't be confused by that.)
If the init script supports reload, then service will successfully pass the argument to it. If it doesn't support reload, such as the "privoxy" script in this case does not, then you'll need to use start, stop, or restart.
Ah... gotcha! I've learned something today....
