Move Grouped Object using max script

I am new to max and problem that i am facing is I have objects that are grouped togother there are 3 objects a box , a frame surrounding the box which has UV map and some rivets like objects on the frame. and name this group as storage
When I try to move the grouped object using max script all the objects inside the group moves move individually rather than moving as a whole like a whole.
Is there any other possible solution to do this or a method though which i can achieve the same.I my script wrong!!!

select $Storage
maxOps.cloneNodes (selection as array) cloneType:#instance newNodes:&nnl #nodialog
select nnl
nnl.pos =  [1,2,1];

The simplest solution in your case is to use first member of "nnl" array which is group helper itself and move it.

maxOps.cloneNodes (selection as array) cloneType:#instance newNodes:&nnl #nodialog
nnl[1].pos =  [1,2,1]
