*puts on the hat of Devil's Advocate*
I think that the screenwriters were trying to interject some pernicious Nazgul vs. Elf hatred into the movie, by using that line. They probably wanted to show that the Nazgul were so confident in their (and their Master's) ability to daunt all their opponents that they would actually presume to order Arwen about.
*takes off the hat*
I still think that whole Nazgul vs. Elf thing would have worked out a lot better if the screenwriters had:
1) Kept Glorfindel in that role. (Well, in this case, even XenArwen would work.)
2) Had the Nazgul say: "Give up the Halfling, Elf!" or something to that effect.
