- Running org-mobile-push with group tags defined in init.el file using
:startgrouptag etc. results in an error, and (in my case) DropBox not being
updated. Here's the log from the *Messages* buffer: Creating agendas...

- Commenting out the group tags attributes in init.el results in Org Mobile
successfully generating and pushing to DropBox.
- Turning group tags off with org-toggle-tags-groups and running
org-mobile-push causes the error.
- Using Org from org-plus-contrib-20160208, the problem seems to be the
:startgroup and :endgroup on lines 460 and 461 of org-mobile.el; patching them
to :startgrouptag and :endgrouptag respectively appears to correct the issue
(though I've not done in-depth testing for any other unintended side effects
this patch may have).
- Also, changing the group attributes in my init.el from :startgrouptag
:endgrouptag to :startgroup and :endgroup respectively corrects the issue,
although the Org manual indicates that the longer form is correct.
- As an aside, I note there are several instances of plain :startgroup
intermingled with :startgrouptag in the org sources:
org-plus-contrib-20160208 $ grep -n startgroup *.el
org.el:3492: (const :startgroup)
org.el:3495: (const :startgrouptag)
