Do one of the two things it says in the error message.

Note that Postfix will run the pipe as the user:group of the owner of
the aliases.db file in which it found the pipe alias. Note also, that
the group is the primary group of the owner of the file, not the group
of the file.

See <http://wiki.list.org/x/tYA9> for more information.
