Yeah, the default RotationInterpolator is a pain that way... We had the same problem. It's like it can only rotate objects around the main axises X, Y, Z.
We used RotPosPathInterpolator instead and just set all the Point3f[] positions at the same Point3f so we can rotate things anywhere in the map. I don't know if this is a bug in Java 3D or if this is the best way to do things, but time was of the essence and it solved our problems. Hope this helps!
