Your call to 'branchGroup.detach()' is certainly causing this
Exception.

One solution may be to call removeReference() after you
detach the BranchGroup. I am not sure that wouldn't trigger
an Exception, but if it doesn't it would be an easy solution.
Another solution may be to extend DefaultRendererJ3D and
override its doTransform() method to be exactly the same
code as DefaultRendererJ3D, except to copy the contents
of 'branch' before returning it (to RendererJ3D.doAction()
which then adds it to the live scene graph).
Good luck,
Bill
