Help with Group Manager- no permission for anything!

Hello, I have recently created a Bukkit server with Essentials Group Manager...and I thought my "groups" file was fine...but when I try to do anything on my server..."You don't have permission." However- I am giving that group permission in my file. I am new to this, so I am wondering if anyone can help a noob out.

# Group inheritance
# any inherited groups prefixed with a g: are global groups
# These groups are defined in the globalgroups.yml
# and can be inherited in any worlds groups/users.yml.
#
# Groups without the g: prefix are groups local to this world
# and defined in the this groups.yml file.

Any group, no permission for /spawn, /tell, anything! It only works if I am Owner and Operator. Please help!

 

i think its becuase ur putting the - - thingy, the second dash is uneccsecary, like maybe it should go - essetials.spawn, etc..., but i would try permissionsEX, much better, and a great wiki explaining it

 

I will try it without the second -, however if all else fails, I will try PermissionsEX because I have heard several people saying they prefer that, I just never got around to getting/learning it.
