Thanks for the reply.
Can't get it to work no matter how I parent things.
The only thing I can think of that works
is to work around the problem by removing
the cluster center deformation, then transforming
the object together with the nulls (former cluster center),
and then reapply the cluster center deformations.
Doesn't look like a very pleasing approach though...
