you need to allow Fox to post to these groups, by setting
$FoxNameFmt[] = 'GroupName.*';

Have you logged out and looked then? Logged in as admin you see all
delete links.
Have you set an author conditional?
I should also say that "author" is not a total safe way here, it will
only be safe it it is coupled with AuthId, and no way for a user to
set the author name. Now you can set author names as you wish, and
will see links associated with that name.
