You need to create the group first.  From the directions I gave:

If you would rather go this route, create a new group (I'll pretend it's
called 'sambausers' for now) and add everyone who should be able to
access the share into that group.

If you don't create the group, you'll get that error.  If you don't add
all the users to the group, you'll get permission denied errors when
they try to access it.

Create the group: sudo groupadd sambausers
Add users to the group: sudo useradd -G sambausers <username>
