What's probably happening is they don't cache low use groups. You've 
requested messages that they simply don't have in their store. If 
they're set up properly they should be requesting copies of those 
messages from wherever they get those groups from. You may suddenly be 
able to see those broken messages in 2 or 3 days if they're not too old 
for motzarella to get fresh copies.
