You can only create an Address Book Group in your personal (On My
Computer) Address Book, not on an Exchange server. You didn't say what
kind of account you're using.

There is a "workaround" that will allow you to add groups to Exchange.

1) Make the groups locally.
2) Export the groups as backup (backups are nice)
2) Run an AppleScript that will move the groups from the local to Exchange.

Script:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
move (every group of address book id 14) to primary address book ¬
of Exchange account 1
end tell

Hope that helps,
