Data Group List Naming Anomaly

It's actually a TCL thing in variable substitution

Check out the Section 7 in the TCL docs on Variable Substitution

As stated there:

[7] Variable substitution.

If a word contains a dollar-sign (``$'') then Tcl performs variable substitution: the dollar-sign and the following characters are replaced in the word by the value of a variable. Variable substitution may take any of the following forms:

$name

Name is the name of a scalar variable; the name is a sequence of one or more characters that are a letter, digit, underscore, or namespace separators (two or more colons).

$name(index)

Name gives the name of an array variable and index gives the name of an element within that array. Name must contain only letters, digits, underscores, and namespace separators, and may be an empty string. Command substitutions, variable substitutions, and backslash substitutions are performed on the characters of index.

${name}

Name is the name of a scalar variable. It may contain any characters whatsoever except for close braces.

There may be any number of variable substitutions in a single word. Variable substitution is not performed on words enclosed in braces.

Try enclosing the data group name in braces and you should be set.
