??? Do you mean that "background behaviour" is set for that group but  
the group does not appear
on your cards? Or what do you mean by "the cards do not accept the  
new gackground group"?

Did you "place" the new bg on the cards? That does not happen  
automatically! ;-)

You could do so with a little script:
...
repeat with i = 1 to the um of cds
   place bg "the new one with the little image" onto cd i
end repeat
...
