Did you build prosody from source?

Also/and-or What distro/*nix you running prosody on on?
Because the paths in your log snippets looks "anomalous"

The log path was fine, cause I run the server from cli and log to console, 
anyway, it's my fault, no need add mod_roster_command to prosody.cfg.lua, 
please invalid it.

I've fixed the traceback and replaced it with a friendly log message. I've also 
added a note to the wiki page to remind that it doesn't need loading in Prosody.

Even if it was "your mistake" I still consider it a bug every time we show a 
traceback to a normal user, so I consider this a valid report, fixed.
