Transactional Question - Take 2

I created a home object by extension.  In this object I have a custom method that creates three records in the DB.  One is record is created via a different home object and two records are created via the persist() method of this home object.  This needs to all be done in a transaction.  I annotate the method as @Transactional and everything works properly until the method completes.  An error is thrown

What am I doing wrong?   I did notice the following earlier in my logs...

Has the home object already committed and completed the transaction when the persist() method is called in the super class?  If so, how do I wrap my method into a different transaction?  Am I using the home object incorrectly and need to create my own DAO CRUD component that manages these multiple inserts?
