That third line should be
   unset($RecentChangesFmt["\$SiteGroup.AllRecentChanges"]);
or
   unset($RecentChangesFmt['$SiteGroup.AllRecentChanges']);

If you want to do it in config.php rather than in a separate script, try

   $thisgroup = FmtPageName('$Group', $pagename);
   if ($thisgroup == 'MyPrivateGroup') {
   unset($RecentChangesFmt['$SiteGroup.AllRecentChanges']); }

Better yet, leave Site/AllRecentChanges alone, read-protect that page,
and create a Main/AllRecentChanges expressly for non-private users. 
Here's some code to do that in config.php:

   $thisgroup = FmtPageName('$Group', $pagename);
   if ($thisgroup != 'MyPrivateGroup') {
   $RecentChangesFmt['Main.AllRecentChanges'] =
     '* [[$Group.$Name]]  . . . $CurrentTime $[by] '
       .'$AuthorLink: [=$ChangeSummary=]';
   }
