jenkins: java.io.IOException: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

Question

I have installed jenkins-1.594 into my windows 7 64 bit machine using msi file. It uses Java 1.6 and Maven to build my code from SVN. When I ran the build for the first time I got below exception and build failed.

I had the similar problem when using Gthub as SCM.

After trying "Wipe Out Current Workspace" resolve the issue.

This could be an issue with drive permission. Are you able to create files on the drive manually? Try installing Jenkins on other drive (if one is available)!!
