Almost certainly - what version of openssh are you running here?

According to the openssh changelog it seems non-root operation is
supported, but there have been issues with it not working on some
releases.

Also, did you spell UsePrivilegeSeparation correctly in your actual
config file?  You misspelled it above and that would definitely cause
this problem.
