I'm not convinced that you are able to fetch groups from your
/etc/ppp/ip-up file like that.

You are starting noffle too early. Your computer still doesn't know
about the names of other computers. It has yet to know how to use the
domain name service (aka dns) to resolve names like 'news.example.org'
to a numeric address like '127.0.0.1'. The necessary steps are already
present in your ip-up file:

Why don't you start 'noffle --fetch' from the file /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
like your distribution suggests? Just make sure that /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
has the same owner.group and the same rwx-permissions as /etc/ppp/ip-up.
