Invalid private key sounds like your private key isn't in the correct format for JSch to read, or that you're pointing at the wrong file. A quick google of "JSch invalid private key" will show you how to convert your key into the OpenSSH key format expected by JSch, otherwise looking at your settings on the global config screen should tell you if you're pointing at the right key file.

I tried the command you said Jenkins uses, and I get following: jenkins@p-hplj1320:/tmp$ cvs checkout -P -N -D '29 May 2013 11:38:14 +0200' -d workspace vcs/c/arm-elf-gcc cvs checkout: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option cvs [checkout aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable. If I check the CVSROOT variable in Jenkins, it is set like the command I use in the terminal, so this should be the same?! I still get the *invalid private key* error when I perform the build. Kind regards, Stijn.
