The problem is that the value converter that calculates the sum for all the items in a group don't run when an item is changed, since there's no notification for changed items. One solution is to bind to something else that you can control how it does notifications and notify the group header when needed.
Below is a working example. You can change the count for a user in the text box and totals gets recalculated.
