To answer my own question, and if anybody cares,

I found I needed to use Designer's Workbench to isolate the geometry I
wished to rotate in it's own DWB group nodes, which then loads into
Performer with a named pfGroup that I can locate and work with. The "path"
text field in a pfPrint still looks like a mess, but the actual scene graph
structure is as it should be.
