Two answers: the easy one and the answer to the question you asked. The
easy one is use this:
	[data table=cat field=category key="[cgi group]"]

instead of [value group]. (Did I do that? If so, that was a bug and you
should ding me for it.) To check for values in the current form in a mv_click
block (which is what you have), you have to use [cgi name] or $CGI->{name}
instead of [value name] or $Values->{name} as the copy from $CGI to $Values
doesn't happen until *after* the mv_click processing.

TO answer the question you actually asked:

	my $group = tag_data('cat', 'category', $CGI->{group});
or
	my $group = tag_data({table='cat', field='category', key='[cgi group]'});

Be sure to include tables="cat" on the [perl] tag. E.g.:
	[perl tables="cat"]
	    # stuff
	[/perl])
