UNIX shells perform variable expansion within double quotes but not
within single quotes.  This isn't 'mminfo' then, but the shell.  (This
answer may well be different on a Windows command shell).

$ GROUP=Default
$ echo "$GROUP"
Default
$ echo '$GROUP'
$GROUP

I doubt you have a group called $GROUP, so the mminfo fails to match.
