I don't think this is supported in mminfo.  I would grab all the entries
and then post-process to remove the group I didn't want.

The only place I see reference to '!' in mminfo is with regard to flags:

                  When comparing flags whose values are  normally  'true'  and
       'false',  one  may  alternatively  use  the  '[  ! ] name' syntax.  The
       '!name' form is equivalent to 'name=false', and  'name'  by  itself  is
       equivalent  to  'name=true'.

But 'group' is a character string attribute instead of a flag, so the
bang operator isn't appropriate.
