[Bigsister-general] Grouping Howto


Hi, New to bigsister, longtime bigbrother user, first
time posting here. i have installed a coupled of
bigsister clients and the rest are  still bigbrother
clients sending updates to bigsis.
My problem is that following the documentation on
grouping is not only confusing....but also not
working.
I am trying to group my nodes into servers,
workstations/User desktops. Whatever change i make in 
  file located in /etc/bigsister/bb-display.cfg does
not make any difference.
The server side is a default rpm installation (1.02-4)
on redhat ES3.0...and even changing the config file to
read from default "All-Hosts" to say "Allll-Hostssss";
restart httpd, restart bigsis...and nothing changes on
the webpage. I was only doing that to see if this file
is consulted at all as documentation says. Below is a
portion of my tinkering...which does not seem to make
any difference to the webpage. Still i only see All
Hosts, no other grouping..and even the altered syntax
"Allll-Hostssss" is not showing up. What am i
overlooking? 

%Groups
# any_host      ALL HOSTS
NEW(New Hosts)  GLOBAL
ALL(All Hosts)  GLOBAL
UserDesktops(User Desktops)  GLOBAL
MultipurposeServer(Multi-User Servers)  GLOBAL

%skin static_lamps bigbro13
%Logskin static_lamps techie
#%Rsync gate _ ALL
%Page top Allll-Hostssss
%title auto
%refto none
%itemref html
%sort severity
%table ALL

%Page userdesktops User-Desktops
%title auto
%refto none
%itemref html
#%sort severity
%table UserDesktops


I first tried the grouping via the web admin menu.
While i can see the grouping when i go to Admin->Host
Groups-->By group, on the left side bar, there is no
menu item for, say, User-Desktops group.
What am i missing here? Any better documentation that
what comes with bb rpm?
_Thanks

Richard
