I wasn't saying you can't use "group" as an attribute for
"define_admin_auth", I was saying you can't use it as an attribute for
"match". So at least that rule won't work, I tried it before. Now, I
don't know how PolicyKit deals with wrong parameters, but in the worst
case it could treat the whole file as invalid, and that could be why
your *other* rules don't work.

I hope I made myself clearer this time :)
