For ID3 formats such as AIF and MP3 iTunes stores the Work in the TIT1 frame (this is mapped to CONTENTGROUP by MinimServer), this was previously used by iTunes for Grouping field, but now iTunes uses a new non-standard GRP1 field for Grouping. For MP4 format iTunes uses the new ©wrk atom for Work and continues to use the ©grp field for grouping as it has always done. I don't like the way they have reused TIT1 since it is now has other uses, but there you are.

So I believe this means that for ID3/AIF files if you edit iTunes Work and Movement fields within iTunes itself and map ContentGroup/Grouping to Group in MinimServer then the values entered for Work would be visible within MinimServer, but they would not be if editing MP4 files.

The original poster mentioned he was using Jaikoz so it might be helpful to know that by default Jaikoz writes to the ©wrk field for Mp4 and the TXXX:WORK field for ID3. Then the Remote Correct:Classical:Copy Work to Grouping option can be used to automatically copy this value to Grouping field (TIT1,©grp) so now visible to iTunes as Work (for ID3) and MinimServer (MP4).
