I added my bot to the "sysop" group as well and re-run it, and it did not show any error messages. So whatever is the issue has to do with the "botadmin" group (or more specifically, with the differences between its rights and that of the "sysop" group). >> >>> !

The patch I submitted will do away with checking membership in the "sysop" group. Group membership is essentially irrelevant. Rights matter, groups don't. Now that we can check a user's rights, we should have a much easier time doing away with the user/sysop dualism.
