Thanks Michael. I really do appreciate your efforts watching out for
questions such as these - it shows the signs of a maturing community
that we have folks such as yourself able to continue the
users-helping-users philosophy.

As the message suggests, we could not find a group called 'users',
'other' or 'staff' in /etc/passwd. What OS is this?
You can override this with --users= option (see the provision --help for
other options for the other groups we try and lookup)
I'll add an exception handler here that explains the situation in better
detail.

If a quicktest fails, then you shouldn't waste your time on anything
else - it should always pass. Try again with a later build if you think
we just stuffed up for a short time, or ask on this list if it seems to
be just your particular platform.
