Use this command it works perfectly

sudo ejabberdctl srg_create friends localhost vipul "my friend list" "my best friends"

1. The command explanation

1. The command explanation seems obsolete. This works for me, try it and tell me:
ejabberdctl srg_create group3 localhost name desc "group1\\ngroup2"

2. This works for me:
ejabberdctl srg_create group3 localhost name "Managers group 3" "group1\\ngroup2"

3. Quite simply:
ejabberdctl srg_create group3 localhost name "Группа менеджеров 3" "group1\\ngroup2"

Notice: I'm using ejabberd master git, compiled with Erlang/OTP 17 in Debian.
