By this error you mean starting the brltty service?

A few things....

I find it odd that the line wasn't in /etc/group to being with as that is normally done when the package is
installed.  Anyway....

It is possible the group number needs to be lower than 1000.  I forgot to mention that is normally the
case that system processes use groups lower than that.

You may have to reboot the system for the group to be recognized by system processes.
