setSelectionPath() and expandPath()

hi everybody. following problem:

i want to save the SelectionPath in a JTable, redraw the table and then have the saved SelectionPath expand out again. the selected node is a leaf.

i've tried setExpandsSelectedPath(true) and setSelectionPath(savedPath), and also expandPath(savedPath.getParentPath()) but the JTree refuses to expand to show this path.

does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
