1. "returned error 997" is Error_IO_Pending"
2. Your configuration violates atomicity in that you have cross group
dependencies. A group should contain resources plus all dependencies for
those resources in order to maintain atomicity. Resource dependencies
control the order in which services go online and offline. If you violate
atomicity, you break this. Considering the error, I'd hazard a guess that
this is the root of your problem.
