I don't know how you are testingthem but one lead to the glowplug terminal and the other to a good ground away from the glowplug. If your leads are long enough you should not need to move the ground for all glowplugs on one bank (maybe both banks).
Try again and don't try to ground at the glowplug which I would guess is what you are trying to do.

Can't tell you what you are doing wrong unless I was watching 
...BUT...here is a complete "how-to" on testing the system.

The common pin is not a ground. You can get a 0.0 reading if you are using the wrong scale on the meter. For example my meter has a 2m, 200k, 20k, 2k, and 200 ohm settings. You would want to use the 200 ohm setting for glowplugs.
