OS in low trust environments

Six months ago I used Open Space with a group of 10 senior executives for whom
it worked extremely well, having aired concerns and making agreements that
should have helped them work more effectively together. They now want another
session. In the interim, some players have been less than colloborative, power
alliances within the group are more clearly defined and there is heightened
mistrust. Has anyone used open space in similar circumstances and do you have
advice other than "trust the process"?
