Hi,
If you have  a Jabber ID used in iChat and you add a Buddy the Buddy gets an Authorisation Request invite.
iChat sends this Invite once.
The Buddy cannot be properly in your Buddy List until they accept.
However other Jabber Apps constantly sends the Authorisation Requests again and again until the person Accepts or Declines.
In iChat if the Buddy misses the Request the Buddy list is left hanging with the "Awaiting" message.
GoogleTalk and Facebook IDs ware valid Jabber names if you have Enable "Talk" on Google an "Chat" on Facebook.
Try Deleting the Buddy from the list (Highlight and then Backspace key)
Then Add them when you know they will see the request.
(Or get a Third Party Jabber app and run that after adding their name until they reply)
