Right and GROUPID does not exist.  Where did that come from?  I am not 
following.

should be in /etc/group not /etc/passwd for groups.
And to change that I would use the -D option on adduser.

so I don't have a good way for me to test. If this doesn't work, the next 
best option would be for a custom script to add users.
