It's not clear exactly what you are doing and expecting. It sounds a
little like you are expecting getTablePrivileges to return just the
privileges for the current user, but it will return the privileges for all
users.
What do you get from the following?
SELECT relacl from pg_class WHERE relname = 'mytablename'
