groupdel (On Linux and some other UNIXES ) does not have a -g option. Your code is incurring an error and failing; note you are interpreting it as the 'group does not exist'.
Commands can fail dozens of ways. Read the info or man page for the allowed options for your flavor of UNIX. And trap all of the errors you can so your code is not misleading, simply say something like 'groupdel failed.' To do this you need to redirect stderr in your code to a variable or to stdout. In other words, display the error message groudel or goupadd emits.

What effect will this have? Will it cause any problems?
