I am having trouble.

I used a rule set

I create a default group node when a new user is created
I then create a default project in the default group for the new user
I then try to assign the default project to the default group

I get lots of errors. I tracked it down to neither default_group nor default_project nodes have $nid defined.
How do I know? I used dsm($node_add_default_group) and dsm($node_add_default_project)
neither has $nid defined.

I have a feeling that neither node is actually saved until after the rule is executed.
When I look in my database there is no reference to either.
Can someone confirm if this is the way node creation in rules works?

If so, then how do I set up rules to do what I want?

Thanks for any insight that you might be able to give.

But if I do have them in the same rule I am able to access group and project variables. If they are in separate rules will I be able to do that?

$node_added_project content Default project Yes
$node_added_default_group content Default group for new user Yes
$user user User No

#2 seems to answer this adequately. No follow up from the original poster, and D6 is now unsupported.
