Why is youtube-dl.exe failing on this url?

I have updated to latest version and I have rtmpdump installed to same folder and the folder is set as a path.

This is a known problem, if the url has the list parameter it will try to download the whole list and since it's private it fails, see #755 and #1073 for more info.
It won't fail if you use youtube-dl www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbRU-HbsqUw
