I think i found one of the problema. Whenever I use the weight skin paint tool, none of the changes i make stay after i've deselected whatever part of the tree i was working on! So the odd, and unwanted extra influences the branches are having on eachotehr are impossible for me to change. I just upgrades from maya 7 to 8 also, but the problem still seems to be there.
I just notirced too that this does not happen what painting the tree trunk, only the branches. I do not know what is it about the branches would make them locked like that.
