I have the same settings, except for using "localhost" instead of
"127.0.0.1". This should not make any difference, though.

The same configuration works for me.

I have this instead, as per the example given in the comments of the
config file:
forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .
You should check if Tor and privoxy are actually listening for
connections on the ports that you specify; see the output of these
commands (as root):
lsof -i :8118 -i :9050
netstat -plant | grep -E ':(8118|9050)'
