Relayering and dragging a group within a group

When the mouse is pressed on a button, I want the group that it is
part of to come to the front and be draggable to a different
location. There are several such groups, and all are parts of a
higher-level group called "wb."
The group "wb" has the following script:
on mouseDown
if "button" is in the target then
-- (1) put the group this button belongs to on top of other
-- groups that are subgroups of group "wb":
put the short id of the owner of the target into tgid
start editing group "wb"
set the layer of group id tgid to top
stop editing
-- (2) move this group with the mouse until the mouse is released:
grab group id tgid of group "wb"
end if
end mouseDown
Part (2) does not work (using Metacard 2.5 on Mac OSX 10.4). If I
comment out part (1), part (2) works as expected. Can anyone see an
error or suggest a remedy?
Many thanks.
