You will probably have a better chance of success if you update your credentials plugin to the latest version, register your private key in the "Manage Jenkins", "Manage Credentials" section, then use that registered credential with your job. That has the benefit that the private key is managed by Jenkins and will be used on slaves and masters as needed.
You could also try the same operations without installing git at all, if you use "Manage Jenkins" to add "JGit" as an installation of git. The JGit implementation is not yet at functional parity with the command implementation, but it is pure Java so the use cases which it handles are all handled in Java, without requiring installation of a separate program. I believe that "Jenkins the Definitive Guide" was published before the Credentials plugin was used by the git plugin.
