What do you get if you put this in a file and run Python on it.
import os
import pwd
def default_run_group():
if os.name == 'nt':
return '#0'
try:
import pwd
uid = os.getuid()
entry = pwd.getpwuid(uid)
except KeyError:
return '#%d' % uid
try:
import grp
gid = entry.pw_gid
return grp.getgrgid(gid).gr_name
except KeyError:
return '#%d' % gid
print(default_run_group())
Looks a bit like you are running as a user which isn't in any groups.
You can use the --group option to override it and pass something appropriate.
