I was looking for a solution to this a while back, Shane provided one here:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/private-message-friends-only/

the code goes into the bp-custom.php file.

Without it private messages can be sent to anyone, friend or not.

Thanks @mcUK , i just went through the article. before i try it, am just wondering if that settled it finally in your own case without giving error messages.

Not tested thoroughly as I was sidetracked, but it seems to work fine.
