linked actions not working in 2.5

Hi,

I have linked the actions for the player in the player file. Then I have linked the player group into my level file. Now this works great in Blender 2.49.

But if I try it in 2.5 somehow the actions are not played. It seems that blender has problem with the linked actions.

Does anybody have the same problem? Is it a bug?

Thanks in advance
