Your code is fine with one exception (the group name, see below). I just ran it successfully on 4.0.a Community (I assume that is what you are running based on your forum profile).

A few things to check:

- Your code is using the jBPM engine. Starting in 4.0 there are two: jBPM and Activiti. Make sure that you haven't set system.workflow.engine.jbpm.enabled to false in alfresco-global.properties. You might also check repository.properties in the Alfresco WAR to make sure that property is set to true.

- In my WAR-only install, the jBPM workflows were not deployed by default, so to get your code to run successfully I went to the workflow console and did a "deploy jbpm alfresco/workflow/review_pooled_processdefinition.xml" to deploy the jBPM version of the pooled review definition.

- Most of the time when you make API calls related to groups, you need to prepend the group name with "GROUP_". So in your case, instead of using ALFRESCO_ADMINISTRATORS use GROUP_ALFRESCO_ADMINISTRATORS.

Hopefully, your problem is related to one of the above. If not, let me know.

If you want to use the Activiti engine instead, you only need to modify two lines in the script to make it work:

<    workflow.parameters.workflowName = "jbpm$wf:reviewpooled";
—
>    workflow.parameters.workflowName = "activiti$activitiReviewPooled";

and

<    workflow.parameters["bpm:groupAssignee"] = assigneeGroup;
—
>    workflow.parameters["bpm:groupAssignee"] = people.getGroup( assigneeGroup );

Tested in Alfresco 4.0.b Community.
