There has been a change -- there is no such thing as a "master page
item" in
CS3, although there is a new property of a page, called, confusingly,
"master page items", which returns a list of what were formerly called
master page items.
Buy it sounds like the grouping is causing your problems -- you can't
override only some elements of a group, and you may have a
situation where
some elements belong to different pages than their parent group.
But I'd be curious to see the document in question...

Thanks for the reply Shane,
I found a few tips on the web, and went with using the script labels
Here's what I sorted as a solution.
on OverrideMasterPageItems(PageNumber, MasterPage)
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell front document
-- check for either left or right side of the master
try
if (PageNumber) mod 2 is 0 then
set myMasterPage to page 1 of master spread MasterPage
set strLabel to "left"
else
set myMasterPage to page 2 of master spread MasterPage
set strLabel to "right"
end if
on error -- must be a single page master, default to page 1
set myMasterPage to page 1 of master spread MasterPage
set strLabel to ""
end try
-- be sure to set a label in your template
set lstPageItems to (page items of myMasterPage whose label is
strLabel)
-- if the list is empty, then select every page item
if lstPageItems is {} then
set lstPageItems to (page items of myMasterPage)
end if
-- incase there is more than 1 grouped item, loop the
lstPageItems list
repeat with pageItem in lstPageItems
override pageItem destination page page PageNumber
end repeat
end tell
end tell
end OverrideMasterPageItems
