Check /etc/nsswitch.conf, specifically the groups line. Also check the output of
$ getent groups git
To find out why you get the error about the group already existing.
Reference: man nsswitch.conf(5) and man getent(1)

Ensure that your SCRIPT_FILENAME is correct. I've found that I have to specify the full absolute location to get it work:
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/share/gitweb/gitweb.cgi;
If you continue to have errors, you may need to specify the full path to your Gitweb configuration file as well:
fastcgi_param GITWEB_CONFIG /etc/conf.d/gitweb.conf;

You need to add a gitweb.conf.pl file (like this one) which:
will be called by gitweb (if that file exists and defines a export_auth_hook sub, gitweb.cgi calls it)
will specify where the git repos are
will call gitolite
That would include:
$ENV{GL_REPO_BASE_ABS} = "$ENV{HOME}/repositories";
$export_auth_hook = sub {
my $repo = shift;
my $user = ...

From the gitolite config page:
You can also use the special values %GL_REPO and %GL_CREATOR in the string.
The former is available to all repos, while the latter is only available to wild repos.
So this could work (not tested):
config gitweb.url = git@git.exmaple.com/%GL_CREATOR/%GL_REPO
config receive.denyNonFastforwards = true

Here is my "gitweb-gitolite" configuration, hoping that may help you find what is missing in your configuration:
I have included my gitweb.conf.pl at then end of gitweb_config.perl (as mentioned in the gitolite doc) like so:
use lib (".");
require "gitweb.conf.pl";
Here is my gitweb.conf.pl, adapted from gitolite/contrib/gitweb/gitweb.conf:

Fixed it! I am running on RHEL and it turns out it was a problem with SELinux. When I disabled it, everything worked correctly. Since I didn't want to disable it for good, I found the solution on a blog for writing a module that sets the correct policies and installs it.
What I did was:
# mkdir gitolite-selinux; cd gitolite-selinux
# touch local.te ...

gitweb is available in the EPEL repo http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL.
To add Epel repository to your system open a terminal and as root run:
For RedHat/centos 6
rpm -ivh http://mirror.datacenter.by/pub/fedoraproject.org/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
For RedHat/centos 5
rpm -ivh ...

I suspect that this is because your repositories are NOT bare repositories; that is, gitweb doesn't work correctly with non-bare repositories. A good way to check is--the directory that gitweb is publishing; does it contain a bunch of directories with a .git directory? The solution would be to use bare repositories (git clone --bare) instead.

Gitosis uses gitweb for http publishing of repositories.
You need to have gitweb running.
Please ensure that gitweb is installed. Your gitweb.conf should look like:
# Location of the git binary
$GIT = "/usr/bin/git";
# Project root for gitweb
$projectroot = "/srv/git/repositories";
$stylesheet = "/gitweb.css";
$logo = "/git-logo.png";
$favicon = ...
