This is not a problem. You allow the means to vary between the groups.

This post is old, but I thought I'd link the question I posted with the solution. It provides a description on how OpenMx can be used for fitting multilevel SEM.

Yes, for example see this 3 level growth curve model.

They are regression coefficients. If you have no missing data, you can reproduce almost all of those results with two regression analyses, or one multivariate regression.

Assuming $(\mathbf{I} - \mathbf{B})$ is invertible, we can rewrite the $\boldsymbol{\eta}$ equation as follows:  \begin{align} \boldsymbol{\eta} &= \boldsymbol{\alpha}+\mathbf{B}\boldsymbol{\eta}+\boldsymbol{\zeta} \\ &\Updownarrow \\ \boldsymbol{\eta} - \mathbf{B}\boldsymbol{\eta} &= \boldsymbol{\alpha}+\boldsymbol{\zeta} \\ &\Updownarrow ...

You don't have enough information fit a single factor model when you only have two measured variables. I think of it like this. This model: mod_pain = "pain =~ SF36_7 + SF36_8" Wants to estimate two parameters. A loading for each of the measured variables. How much information are you giving it to do that with? One covariance. So you have 1 (covariance) -...
