Did you perhaps run out of cargo to move?

Click the "Max Speed" button on the task force group window for the affected TGs.

Also check that all the ships have a speed >1 (if one has suffered total engine damage, nothing else will move) 


and check that you didn't start a refit or repair for any of the ships in the Task Group and then move them out (the yard work entry refences the fleet that a ship was in when the work was ordered - it doesnt change if you the move the ship to another task group, and any yard work stops a fleet from moving)
Slàinte,

I have this happen with colony ships on cycle with orders to load colonists, refuel, unload colonists. Every so often I get the event Task Group # cannot load/unload. When I examine Task Group #, everything appears OK. I reset the orders and off they go again. Neither rhyme nor reason.
