And also:
"The function of this behavior may be for wound and ectoparasite treatment. It may reinforce social bonds or the monkeys may simply enjoy rubbing."

Mary Baker at RIU studies this exact behavior: Here's what she had to say:
"The substances that elicit this behavior are pungent and/or stimulating when applied to the body...In the wild, the kinds of things monkeys rub with vary from site to site. Even when the same substances are available at several sites, the items a particular group uses for rubbing is likely to be different, suggesting a socially transmitted pattern of use.
