How to sync Google Contacts lists/labels/groups (gContactSync)?

Hi. I'm using gContactSync but it's only importing a long list of email addresses, ignoring the groups that they're organized into. See attached images. How can I fix this? Thanks!

I was able to fix it by going into the gContactSync menu in Thunderbird and then Edit Accounts. I selected my account, clicked the Find all Groups button and then set the Groups and Contacts to Synchronize dropdown to All groups and contacts. I saved the changes, restarted Thunderbird, re-synced, and viola!
