I think that might be the problem... if you're currently doing this:

  copy group "MyGroup" to stack "MySubStack"

then you need to copy to the *cards* of the substack, as in:

  copy group "MyGroup" to card 1 of stack "MySubStack"
  copy group "MyGroup" to card 2 of stack "MySubStack"

This assumes that the current defaultStack is the main stack.
