Are you using R 2.7.2?  Something in R changed between R 2.7.1 and R
2.7.2 that breaks certain ggplot plots (you code works fine for me
without modification).  It's on my to do list to fix.

You can also simplify your code a little by relying on defaults set in
the ggplot() call:

ggplot(mydata, aes(Est, Tri, colour = factor(Group))) +
 geom_point(aes(shape = factor(Group))) +
 geom_smooth(method = lm, se = F)
