Animation causing game object to disappear(gear vr)

Hey all,

Made a simple animation on a character via unity animator. The animation is simply a path for a guard to patrol on. It works fine when im just tweening between positions but as soon as I add rotation to the animation, my guard never shows up. he simply disappears.

This doesnt happen via game scene play mode in unity editor, only when i run the game on the gear vr.

please help.

anyone else seen this? its hard to debug when i only see the issue when i plug it into the gear vr.
