Well, 

Gathering running group can be easily achieved with

nsradmin> option hidden
nsradmin> option dynamic
nsradmin> show name;status
nsradmin> print type:nsr group
                        name: Default;
                      status: idle;

                        name: NSR-GROUP;
                      status: idle; 

Then group worklist can be parsed, that the first part of the solution.

As per one of the previous posts, if saves are client initiated
backups (save or any other BSM), the trick is to gather running 
save sessions (including client initiated ones and the ones started 
by savegroup) by issuing :

nsradmin>show session client name;session rate;session rate
label;session message
nsradmin>print type:nsr

You will then have to process output to rebuild as follow :
        session client name[1] session rate[1] session rate label[1]
        session client name[2] session rate[2] session rate label[2]
        session client name[3] session rate[3] session rate label[3]

In this case, you will gather session name (eg server:/saveset saving to
ABC001)
and its session write rate ( eg 1500 KB/S). Usefull to gather/monitor
1 specific saveset write speed (read speed is not possible), BTW.

If you now combine both, you can group savesets based on worklist and
determine your group backup I/O write Avg speed sorting/greping
client initiated backups from monitoring. Perl can be a very fast 
way to achieve it.

Work list is part of a group.  If he's having issues with finding a
running group in the first place (due to client-initiated backups), then
parsing a work list isn't likely to help.
