Here's a gsh script that lists immediate (aka direct) members of a group 
named 'a:group:name':

subj = findSubject("aSubjectId")
sess = GrouperSession.start(subj)
grp = GroupFinder.findByName(sess, "a:group:name")
grp.getImmediateMembers()

I only find a single group element in that xml, not the more complex 
subgroup structure you mentioned earlier. I don't think there's enough 
info to reconstruct the problem. Could you take another swing at it? 
Perhaps the following would include the right set of elements:

ant xml-export -Dcmd="-name ku:is:it:idms backup.xml"
