Being blocked basically means maintenance, verifying, collecting,
or whatever. No big deal. There were bugs in early versions of 6.3.
Mark says it usually happens during expire, so they turn off periodic
expire and run it only via nnadmin out of cron.
From Kim:
However, it non-empty
groups stay blocked for a longer period of time, you should probably
instruct nnmaster to recollect that group (via nnadmin).
In 6.4 there will be a possibility to have nnmaster collect a selected
set of groups only - currently, it will BLOCK the groups it is not
instructed to collect, but I am not sure whether this is the best
approach, or whether it should ignore the groups all together (i.e.
they will not even be known to the G command).
