software deployment via GPO

This shouldn't be as difficult as it has become...

I have a pdf generation program I am trying to deploy via GPO.
I've created the msi file and have it in a directory on a common share that
users have read access to.

I've created the GPO policy and have it deploying to the computers. I've
created a Gobal security group and assigned a few users for a test group so
that I can test the installation before opening the installation to all
users. (followed these instructions:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324750/en-us - how to assign software to a
specific group using GPO)

When I log into the test computer I do not get the deployment. When I run
gpresult it shows "The following GPO's were not applied because they were
filtered out" then lists my PDF GPO : filter not applied <empty>

The other policies that are set for the computers are applied, but this one
is not.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
