Git via SSH is not working on this new install

[Ken Keefe]

I am trying to get my first Jenkins install up and running. I have set up a ubuntu 14.04 dumb slave. I am trying to get the slave to simply clone a git repo from an SSH server as a starting point. Unfortunately it keeps failing. Here is a pastebin of the job's log: http://pastebin.com/2LVkaQcG

What is frustrating is that I can ssh into the slave machine as my jenkins user. cd to the workspace directory with the local repo and execute line 8 and it prompts me for my password and works correctly. I can't figure out why the error starting on line 9 is happening. I am using a username/password credential to access the git repo.

If you embed the user name and the password into the SSH url, does it succeed from within the Jenkins job?

I tried embedding the username and not embedding the username. Both result in the exact same error. Is there a way to embed the password too?

The syntax which allows embedding user name and password into the URL seems to be https.  I run tests of the git client plugin with this as a sample URL:

https://MarkEWaite:my_passw...@gitlab.com/MarkEWaite/git-client-plugin.git

I also have a job in my test kit which uses a username / password credential (entered through the Jenkins credentials system) which reads from a remote repository using ssh protocol with the username / password pair specified in the credential.

Unfortunately, all that does it hint that it works for me.  I don't have any way of telling you what to change to make it work for you.  Sorry.
