I am not sure, but in the context where your extensions are, have you done:

include => BLF_Group_Pickup

This bit should have some "context=" i,e, where your clients are dialling, do 
they have access to the [BLF_Group_Pickup] bits of the dial plan?

(I think it can also be set as a default in the [general] part of sip.conf 
 i,e, context=default if not defined in the SIP peer config, but for 
 security reasons, your internal clients should ideally be in a separate 
 context, so you can differentiate between internal and external connections 
 and limit what they can dial.) Mine is called "from-client" and then in 
 each [client] section in sip.conf, I have "context=from-client"

You might also have to set the Pickup() command to pickup from the correct 
context, i.e. Pickup(${EXTEN:2}@from-client) if it still doesn't work.
