I think this is your problem: http://localhost:8110/tm/cm Request is not going where it should go.

    I thought that as well, but I checked where it's going on the way out, and all looks good, that seems to be the address that I get on every failed WebRequest.

    If you still experience issues you may want to try this slightly modified approach (i.e. for sync-failover-device-group devicegroup_lab-01; tested in v12.1.2): 

    curl -svk -H "X-F5-Auth-Token: ${token}" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST -d '{"command":"run","options":[{"to-group":"devicegroup_lab-01"}]}' "https://${bigip}/mgmt/tm/cm/config-sync" | json-format

    Alternatively you can add the options as query parameter (use encoding; tested in v12.1.2): 

    curl -svk -H "X-F5-Auth-Token: ${token}" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST -d '{"command":"run"}' "https://${bigip}/mgmt/tm/cm/config-sync?options=to-group%20devicegroup_lab-01" | json-format
