Setup AME and ERES for Recipe Approvals

We are using the status to envoke the workflow to approve recipes for general use.  We have 2 approval groups.  The first approval group is dynamic, approved by the recipe owner.  The second approval group is a static list of users, where the first responder wins.  The problem is that Oracle is still requiring all users in the second group to approve before the record is finally approved.  Any help or expereince using 2 approval groups for a transaction.
