Not sure if it is the same problem I was just having exactly, but I was
getting the same message every time I tried to add a permission, but I
believe I finally figured it out...  looks like horde tries to query
the horde_datatree table for an entry with group_uid set to
'horde.perms'.
If there is no match it doesn't seem to create one, it just dumps the
error.

As a workaround I just created a dummy row in the databse with group_uid
set to horde.perms manually, this allowed me to access the permissions
page, where I setup real permissions and then deleted my placeholder.

YMMV, but it worked for me.
