if ($permissions['serverstuff'] & 1)
    // isserverstaff

if ($permissions['serverstuff'] & 2)
    // isbetatester

You didn't say exactly where you added your xml, but I think you should be able to do something like this code (which obviously checks forumpermissions):

$permissions['forumpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']

by replacing 'bf_ugp_forumpermissions' with whatever is appropriate for your bitfields, that way you're not hard-coding the values.
