I don't use nndiary, but the way you describe this makes me wonder if it
is a misunderstanding.
Are you sure you tried 'C-u a' in the *Group* buffer? Note the
instructions say _on_ (i.e., in the *Group* buffer with point on the
group), not _in_ the diary group. IMO it should work as described. Also,
there is not even a "S i" binding in the *Group* buffer, whereas there
is one in the *Summary* buffer (i.e., when you enter the group), which
reinforces my suspicion.
