Not able to make Jenkins perforce plugin to work with ssh

问题

I am not quite familiar with Jenkins but for some reason I am not able to make the perforce plugin to work. I will list down the problem and what I have tried so as to get a better understanding.

Jenkins Version - 1.561

Perforce Plugin Version - 1.3.27 (I have perforce path configured in Jenkins)

System - Ubuntu 10.04

Problem:

In the Source Code Management's Project Details section ( when you try to configure a new job ) I get "Unable to check workspace against depot" error.

P4PORT(hostname:port) - rsh:ssh -q -a -x -l p4ssh -q -x xxx.xxx.com /bin/true
Username              - ialok
Password              - N.A (Connection to SCM is via key authentication so left it blank)
Workspace(client)     - ialok_jenkins

I let Jenkins create workspace and manage its view by checking the checkbox for both "Let Jenkins Create Workspace" and "Let Jenkins Manage Workspace View"

Client View Type is a View Map with the following mapping:

//sandbox/srkamise/... //ialok_jenkins/srkamise/...

I have the keys loaded prior to starting jenkins and the jenkins process runs as my user (ialok)

~$ ps aux | grep jenkins
ialok    16608  0.0  0.0  14132   552 ?        Ss   11:08   0:00 /usr/bin/daemon --name=ialok --inherit --env=JENKINS_HOME=/var/lib/jenkins --output=/var/log/jenkins/jenkins.log --pidfile=/var/run/jenkins/jenkins.pid -- /usr/bin/java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.war --webroot=/var/cache/jenkins/war --httpPort=8080 --ajp13Port=-1
ialok    16609  1.0 13.9 1448716 542156 ?      Sl   11:08   1:04 /usr/bin/java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.war --webroot=/var/cache/jenkins/war --httpPort=8080 --ajp13Port=-1

Additionally, I used envInject plugin and "Under Prepare an environment for the run" I added SSD_AGENT_PID, SSH_AUTH_SOCK, P4USER, P4PORT environment parameters. (I did try without envInject but faced the same issue)

It looks like some authentication problem as I double checked the path to p4 executable along with the project mapping and addition of keys to my environment.

Here is the log file indicating a failed run:

The P4PORT typically is of the form 'hostname.port'. Examples would be:

workshop.perforce.com:1666

myserver.mycompany.net:2500

Here's some docs: http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/cmdref/P4PORT.html
