I am using NSMutableArrays to hold the nodes in the tree. One thread is adding child nodes while the main thread maybe accessing the arrays through the data source. I find it hard to imagine that NSMutableArray could be

I don't think that's safe. I have seen no assurances that NSOutlineView is thread-safe, and in general most AppKit control classes should _not_ be accessed from background threads.

The best thing to do is have your background thread use - performSelectorOnMainThread:, calling a method on itself that will take the child nodes as a parameter and add them to the outline.
