What do you mean with "the netlister is not getting the GND net"?

In PCB, you can go to Window -> Netlist to see what nets have been 
reported by gnetlist.

> How can I see what the netlister is putting out?

As Dmitry already pointed out, you can do

$ gnetlist -o - -g pcbfwd page1.sch page2.sch ...

from the directory in which your schematics live to see the raw netlister 
output.  (Please note that the backend used by "Import Schematics" is 
called "pcbfwd", not "PCB", and that it may be necessary to add a "-L 
/.../share/gEDA/scheme/" option if you installed PCB to a nonstandard 
location.)
