What are you trying to achieve ? Are you trying to give the new group
permissions to some queueu ?

Something like this works for me:

my $queue = RT::Queue->new($RT::SystemUser);
$queue->Load($queuename);

foreach my $tmp_right (@group_rights) {
        my ($status, $msg) = $group->PrincipalObj->GrantRight(
                Right => $tmp_right,
                Object => $queue);

}
