Hi Dan,
 
I forgot to say...I "think" I remember using separate variance t tests to examine missing data patterns (I say think because it was a  while ago & I can't remember for certain whether this is what I used to examine missing patterns by group). In MVA select "descriptives" then "t tests...".
 
I followed the instructions in the SPSS MVA manual for version 7.5 of SPSS. As far as I know there are no newer manuals available for MVA.  You can find the manual at this website:  http://www.siue.edu/IUR/SPSS/SPSS%20Missing%20Value%20Analysis%207.5.pdf 
 
Try reading around pages 21-26.
 
Kathryn
