That's because grouding has become impossible in SR3. Maybe a better way
of putting it, is that it was never possible at all :)

If you like grounding, because it makes things a bit more dangerous for
magicians, there's no reason you can't keep it, though. An important thing
to keep in mind in that case, however, is that you can't cast physical
spells on the astral plane anymore, so having anything ground out into an
area is impossible unless you ignore that rule.

There is (or at least, there was a list like that some 1 1/2 years ago)
but don't ask me where it's located...
