The following scenario causes a disparity between String path = node.getPath() and session.getNode(path).

• Create a new session (session1)
• Add 'testNode' as a child of root
• Save the session
• Logout of the session

• Create a new session (session2)
• Get the node at the path '/testNode'
• Remove testNode
• Re-add the node as a child of root (effectively restoring it but lets call it newTestNode for clarity), using rootNode.addNode('testNode')

Observations:

• Calling newTestNode.getPath() should return '/testNode' but in fact returns '/testNode[2]'
• Calling session2.getNode('/testNode[2]') throws a PathNotFoundException
• Calling session2.getNode('/testNode') returns the newTestNode

It appears that the calculation for the newTestNode.getPath() is not correct for a mid-session use-case. Everything is sorted out if the session is saved after the removal and prior to the creation of newTestNode.
