I got it to work.  The group I was trying to use was a distribution
list and not a security group.  Once the group was upgraded to a
security group, I was able to commit as expected.

I'm not sure if its possible or not to check that attribute in code
when a group is selected, but it would be nice to popup a warning if
its a distribution list and not a secruity group.
