Using llSetLinkPrimitiveParams to rotate

I have no idea what I am doing wrong but I am obviously failing epically somewere.

I'm trying to use llSetLinkPrimitiveParams() to reposition an avatar sitting on a chair.

llSetLinkPrimitiveParams(USER_PRIM, [
PRIM_POSITION, <A, B, C>,
PRIM_ROTATION, rot
]);

works wonderfully... until I change the direction the chair is facing.

So I use the ever popular

PRIM_ROTATION, rot * llGetLocalRot() / llGetRootRotation()])

Now I'm sitting in a different orientation but I'm still climbing around like an impatient monkey as I change the direction the chair is facing.

I've tried every variation I can think of and I can not find anything that keeps the rotation of the avatar constant when I change the rotation of the chair. What in the wold am I doing wrong?

Thanks so much in advance for attempting to salvage the ragged ends of my sanity.

You must be running into SVC-93, and would need to do a double correction for the root rotation.

The workarounds are in here:
