In answer to my own question, in case anyone else has similiar difficulties, it seems I was using node incorrectly.
The API documentation states: A Node is a named logical grouping of data in the JBoss Cache. A node should be used to contain data for a single data record, for example information about a particular person or account. Once my cache was structured along these lines, putForExternalRead did what I required. I couldn't find this information anywhere in the User Guide. Perhaps that paragraph inserted at the start of the User API chapter would help put the rest into context.
