I fixed the Jenkins issue by trying a workaround. Instead of asking jenkins to run my Maven job I used a plugin that runs scripts over ssh. This script does that Maven command that doesn't work in Jenkins. This works without a hitch. I still think this is a Jenkins bug, or that's what it looks like to me. I mean, a Maven job that doesn't work when Jenkins runs it, but when Jenkins invokes the script it works.
