What exactly do I need to "enqueue" when working with the scene graph?

So my previous (maybe incorrect) understanding was that if I wanted to modify the scene graph, I needed to enqueue the logic using app.enqueue(new Callable()) etc. This has worked fine. But recently, one part of my game logic that translates some nodes has been causing the “tried to modify root node outside of renderer thread” error. This is all of the code in the block:

[java]
final GameBoardPiece piece = AVSingletons.players.get(playerID).getPiece(pieceIDs[0]);
GameBoardSystem currentSystem = (GameBoardSystem)AVSingletons.spatials.get(piece.getCurrentHexCoord());
GameBoardSystem system = (GameBoardSystem)AVSingletons.systems.get(systemID);

    piece.setCurrentHex(system.hex);
    if(currentSystem.getSystemID() != system.getSystemID()){
        piece.setCanMove(false);
    }

    //this is internal collection, not part of scene graph
    currentSystem.removePiece(piece);
    //this is internal collection, not part of scene graph
    system.addPiece(piece);
    for(GameBoardPiece pieceIt : system.getPieces()){
        
        if(piece.getAllegience() != pieceIt.getAllegience()){
            AVSingletons.battleSystem = system;
            
            if(playerID == AVSingletons.getThisPlayer().getPlayerID()){

                <strong>//does nifty modify root node?</strong>
                AVSingletons.getNifty().getScreen("hud").findElementById("initatiateButton").show();
            }
        }
        
    }
piece.setPrevLoc((piece.getLocalTranslation().clone()));

<strong>//only scene graph related code in the block</strong>
piece.setLocalTranslation(coord.clone().add(0, 0, 1));

[/java]

From the IRC, every scene graph action needs to be enqueue’d. I WAS working under an incorrect assumption!

Yeah, if its attached to the rootNode and “live”, basically everything you do to these spatials needs to be enqueued.
