It means exactly what it says.

If you would look at the manual to see why the gid could be forbidden, you
would quickly find:

   10. Is the target groupid ABOVE the minimum ID number?         
                                       
     The minimum group ID number is specified during configuration. This
     allows you to set the lowest possible groupid that will be allowed
     to execute CGI/SSI programs. This is useful to block out "system"
     groups.
