Fix a segfault-causing bug when converting a numeric group to a name fails.

The original code had a copy-and-paste bug when converting a numeric group
id into a symbolic group name: rather than checking that getgrgid returned
a valid result, it checked the result of getpwuid.  If any files in the
backup snapshot belonged to a non-existent group, this resulted in a
segfault.

Problem found and patch provided by Chris Wilson <chris@aptivate.org>.
