Caused by: com.atlassian.crowd.exception.InvalidGroupException: Group already exists in the Remote Directory

Cause

One potential cause is that the initial synchronisation has not yet completely successfully. 

Resolution

Check your whether or not synchronisation has completely successfully, as in Synchronising Data from External Directories.
