In the group layer, Masking tab, toggle between Reveal All/Hide All;
and also
in the masking layer(s), toggle between Add to mask/Subtract from mask.

e.g.
Reveal All + Subtract from mask = the default state shows everything (averything masked), so subtracting from the mask hides something
vs
Hide All + Add to mask, but keep invisible = the default state hides everything (nothing masked), so adding to the mask reveals it.

If you're currently manipulating one of the vector layers, you may not see the full masking effect (involving that particular group) in the workspace.
