servicegroups directive doesn't seem to work

[Paul M. Dubuc]

FYI, The reason this wasn't working was that there was 'use' directive in the 
service template that was using a template that also has a servicegroups 
directive for another service group (that line got edited out of my example).
Putting a + sign in front of the ebusiness servicegroup name did the trick, 
adding the new service group instead of using it to replace the old one.
