I have looked into the log. The group name is actually not resolvable. The debug log has not more information, but from the config given it shows that you provide what looks like the group ID (2000) and not the name ("examplegroup"). Thus resolution seems to fail.
Use $FileGroupNum 2000 instead. Or, better, use new style format.
