There are quite a few support requests from people that can't figure out how to make field groups work. It's documented in the issue queue, but I think it wouldn't harm to add a bit of documentation on the subject in usage.txt somewhere in the CCK description. For example:

When your field is part of a CCK fieldgroup you'll have to prepend your prepopulate url with [group_groupname] for example:
edit[group_myfieldgroup][field_nodereference][0][nid][nid]=[nid: #]

I just ran into this, I was using documentation from CCK and they don't mention anything about groups! :O
Thanks for the solution!
