I'm not sure which query exactly you mean but the following works fine
(this is getting datasets in lodcloud group):

<http://datahub.io/api/search/dataset?groups=lodcloud>

Note this is only the first 10 results. To get all of them just do:

<http://datahub.io/api/search/dataset?groups=lodcloud&limit=350>
