If grompp didn't complain, then the index group was properly read.  You can 
confirm the proper application of the index groups using gmxdump on the .tpr file.

Use of the pull code does not guarantee that any group will inherently not move, 
and perhaps whatever you are doing is simply causing the motion.  Newton's Laws 
still apply!
