When is this code executed? i.e. are you sure this code is executed
*after* your account has connected? Try printing the status of
buddy->account in the same loop.

For connected accounts, the following code works for me:

    GList *accounts = purple_accounts_get_all_active();
    for (; accounts; accounts = g_list_delete_link(accounts, accounts)) {
        GSList *buddies = purple_find_buddies(accounts->data, NULL);
        for (; buddies; buddies = g_slist_delete_link(buddies,buddies)) {
            PurpleBuddy *b = buddies->data;
            PurplePresence *p = purple_buddy_get_presence(b);
            PurpleStatus *s = purple_presence_get_active_status(p);
            printf("status = %s  buddy = %s\n",
                    purple_status_get_name(s),
                    purple_buddy_get_name(b));
        }
    }
