You need to tell us the OS you are using as well as the Go version. Beyond that you should be able to provide a minimal reproduction program for an issue of this sort.
Beyond the above, please note that in general you can't achieve what you're trying to do. The `setpgid()` syscall that the feature you are trying to use maps to can fail for several reasons. See `man setpgid`. Also, the error message you mention is typically associated with errno value EPERM. Depending on your OS there will be one or more reasons for that error.
