Well, these interfaces should really be removed, as they can't
configure everything having to do with user groups (or org units) in
1.6 anyway.

The reason you're seeing the error you are is because Postgres 8.3
became much more strict about automatic casting.  The effort to
address just this would be trivial, but you can't do everything you'll
need to do from the old CGIs, and the effort to make everything would
is non-trivial. So...
