As the error message says, nobody:nogroup is not valid. The nobody user exists by default but there is no such group as "nogroup". I'm not sure what exactly you're doing but I don't see why you can't just use nobody:nobody instead for this.

Use the --user/--group arguments to control the user/group atftp is trying to use.
