What version of Oort are you using?

Just checking but have you agentized the group's server?  Type '^' in
the group buffer to open the server buffer.  Do you see '(agent)' next
to the server?  If you don't, place point on the same line then type 
'J a q'.

Strange.  One other user recently range into trouble by calling
(gnus-agentize) in the beginning of his config file rather than the
end.  Make sure that everything has been configured first.
