First of all, you should go through the Grouper training videos.

Look in grouper_loader_log table, and see the logs in the system.  There are 
either unresolvable subjects in the view that feeds the group(s) or there is 
an error somewhere.  You need a view for the loader with resolvable subjects 
only.  Resolvable means can be found with your subject API via sources.xml 
(see training vids)

The grouper loader runs a package called quartz which schedules jobs.  See 
the training vids.  This is either attributes (legacy) on groups (against 
SQL), or the new attribute framework on groups for LDAP loader.
