GPG seems to be reading your group value(s) not as expected. 

Referencing the source file g10.c:
<snip>
name=strsep(&string,"=");
  if(string==NULL)
    {
      log_error(_("no = sign found in group definition \"%s\"\n"),name);
      return;
    }
</snip>

The strsep function is attempting to access the token(value) in the &string 
variable. The first token is separated from the group name via the equals 
sign.

Try to concatenate the name declaration, separation character(=), and value 
list. I've never tried, but you may need to quote the arguments(group value 
list) to keep it from being expanded unexpectedly in the configuration file. 
I know that passing the group command to bash requires quotes on my system.

See if that has a desired effect.
