Set cfagent.conf to:

----------------------------
import:
        cf.groups
        cf.main
----------------------------

	Put the main part of your config in cf.main, and cf.groups will 
take effect.

	The reason for this is that cfagent.conf is completely parsed 
before cf.groups, so it doesn't register.  But cf.groups is parsed before 
cf.main
