at least in PhotoShop CS4, you can duplicate a segment path but you can't transform it if such path don't cover an area or pixel. that is, a straigh line of two nodes can't be transformed. instead, you would use a line of one pixel thick so you can rotate it using transform command.

using the Path Selection tool (black pointer), select the shape and make sure Show Bounding Box is checked in the Option Toolbar. you might need to zoom in very close to the center of line until you see the crosshair mark. while pressing Alt/Option key, drag the crosshair to any position, then you can release key. this essentially duplicate a shape while you transform it. the same is true if you use any of the special anchors for transformation. finally, after positioning the crosshair in desired place, you would type the desired rotation degree in the Option Toolbar.
