Error message:
Dec 5 20:37:30 fw102.local php-fpm[77756]: /xmlrpc.php: The command '/usr/sbin/pw groupdel -g 'admins'' returned exit code '64', the output was 'pw: Bad id 'admins': invalid'

A few notes after confirming this happens for me as well:
- The secondary node does have an
admins group in /etc/group
- The command it is trying to execute there should either be using
-g gid or -n name but it's using -g name which is an invalid combination. For example it should be -g 1999 or -n admins. Though it really shouldn't be trying to delete that group either way since it still has users, so something else may be broken as well.
Despite the error the user changes are properly reflected on the secondary node, the new user is added to and removed from the group even at the OS level. Thus this log message is apparently not having any practical effect on the outcome in this case, making it cosmetic only as far as I can tell at the moment.

After applying the fix, the errors are no longer present with the admins group, but assigning / removing any other groups still give the same sort of error.

confirmed Chris Cope's findings by adding new user/group.

It still seems to remove and re-add the non-admins group when it syncs, but that seems to be the expected behavior.
