You should see a link for the groups in the navbar template and you would put that condition around it. The link is probably something like:

<vb:if condition="$show['quick_links_groups']">
<li><a href="{vb:link grouphome}">{vb:rawphrase social_groups}</a></li>
</vb:if>

(Are you sure it is showing for usergroups that have no permission to see the social groups? that condition implies otherwise.)
