We don't use Gold, but we do a very similar thing with our FairShare
configuration which also uses the users primary group.
We've found that the simplest way (probably because it was designed for just
this purpose) was to use the group_list that you set with the -W option to
qsub.
So if you want to change the primary UNIX group of a job to one of the ones in
your supplementary groups list then this works for us:
qsub -W group_list=othergroup {blah}
or:
#PBS -W group_list=othergroup
The nice part is that if the group you name isn't in your supplementary list
then it qsub fails immediately with a useful error message rather than
accepting the job and the user only finding out later that there was a
problem.
For example:
$ qsub -W group_list=bogus ./pbs-script
qsub: Bad GID for job execution
good luck!
