Hi,
What the error thrown. I think the below code will work
Code:
 ssh -q "server_name `sudo echo 'dbagroup::1234'` >> sudo /etc/group"

I'm having the same issue. Were you able to get it working?
My code is in perl but it is attempting to accomplish the same thing:
Code:
system("/usr/bin/ssh -q -o BatchMode=yes $hostname sudo \"echo $linuxSudoTTY >>/tmp/sudoers\"");
