Hi Martin,
Here the dentry corresponding to the attribute subgroup seems to be a negative dentry. We are ethier reomving the group more than once or removing a non-existing attribute group. I suspect the first thing more. Can you rebuild the kernel with DEBUG defined in fs/sysfs/dir.c and retest?. And send the dmesg log.
Thanks Maneesh
