I could never get it to work right either.  What I do is to edit the 
resource as text and put all the radio buttons on consecutive lines and
then put some other resource after that (like a CTEXT).  The effectively
groups your radio buttons (make sure they are all set to be auto-radio
buttons as well).  If you have more than one group of them, just make sure
you have a non-radio button resource inbetween the groups.

This is probably not the most elegant way of doing it, but it works...
