You could add a day to end, like so | eval between= mvrange(start, end+86400, "1d"). Having said that, the other option is to use gentimes, try this

| gentimes start="01/01/2016", end="02/01/2016" increment=1d | rename *human as *time | table *time, lines,pattern,daysapplicable,type,prirority

Dates must be converted into epoch form before they can be compared. Use something like this. It will give the difference between the two dates in seconds.

... | eval eStartDate=strptime(startdate,"%d/%b/%Y") | eval eEndDate=strptime(enddate,"%d/%b/%Y") | eval diff = eEndDate-eStartDate | ...
